SEASON'S GREETINGS

With this issue we not only approach the end of another year but also reach the completion of the first - and only - volume of The Model Railway Sup- plement to The New Zealand Railway Observer. The Model Railway Section hag now reached the stage where it will leave the protection of the parent body and go forth as a separate organisation ~ the New Zealand Model Railway Association. The story of the formation and growth of the Section, and the founding of the new Association, has already been related in this journal and ueed not be elab- orated upon here.

Since writing under this heading in the December, ,1946, issue, member-—

ship of the Section has increased by over 50 per cent,, and it is particularly pleasing to note thet all members who joined the Section during 1946 renewed their subscriptions for 1947. Due to this increased membership, and also to a change in the arrangements for producing this journal, it has been found pos- sible during the year to increas: the number of pages ver issue, and it is hoped that this can be continued during the coming year, ét the present time the only cost incurrec by the Section in producing the journal is the cost of stencils, paper, and ink, the time teken in preparation, cutting stencils, and duplicating being conated.

t would like here to express my thanks to all those who have assisted mé in my task xs Sditor by contributing articles, notes and information for pub- lication end in other ways during the year. I would like to mention, however, that the success or otherwise cf this journal depends to a large extent upon the readurs themselves und their contributions in the form of articles end notes. As was mentioned in our last issue the amount of weterial on hand for publica- tion is very low, and I would ask all readers who are in a position to do so to forward whatever material they can in the way of constructional articles, descriptions of or suggestions for systein layouts, particulars of prototypes suitable for reproduction on a miniature system, experiences in model railway matters, useful hints and suggestions, or other simiiar matter.

In conclusion I would like to take this opportunity of extending to all members of the Section and readers of this journal my best wishes for a pleasant Christmas-tide, and for the New Yeer a full measure of henlth and hapniness: may 1948 he n euceearfnl veer in the nursuit of our hobbv.
