How did the conversation thread turn to NMRA? I thought we were talking
about the BRHS Burlington Bulletins?

Tom: I do not need or want old NMRA Bulletins, (many would) but I do
feel that a great project would be to reprint all of Paul Mallery's E&E
articles.
This could be done "as is" or could have editorial comments added
to bring any of his concepts up to date by an electronics expert (not me!).
I learned at his feet, and still am learning.
I predict hundreds of these could be sold to NMRA members
who have joined since his articles stopped in August 1981! In
addition, many old-time members would want the articles collected
in one spot, including the fact that many joined between 1969 and 1981
and thus missed many of his better articles.
I am aware of Paul's own books on the subject, but believe that
this from NMRA would help his sales of his later books, not hinder at all.
Since NMRA printed them originally, I do not see any copyright problem.
Cheers,

Dave E. NMRA Life #578.
