ARM would not be possible without the contributions of some great modelers, photographers and writers. Thank you!
ARM is always looking for good material. I will consider all material sent, but here are some rules-of-thumb to get your photo(s) or article(s) published on the site. Contact me if you would like to contribute. Thanks!
Submitting Photos
Photos must be your own work, or you must have the rights to the photos/permission of the photographer to use them
Only photos of subjects that are related to Appalachian coal-hauling railroads will be posted
For model photos, the subject should be prototypically based and represent Appalachian railroads and themes. Consideration will be given to freelanced tipples and structures which draw from prototypical themes and appear realistic (e.g. Brian Kelly's structures on the C&O Models Page)
Models should show a high level of workmanship--it doesn't have to be magazine quality, but the detail and finish should be realistic and pleasing (out-of-the-box kits with no detailing or weathering will probably not be posted)
Model backgrounds should be appropriate, either a basic gray/white/black background or scenery representative of the Appalachians
All photos should be accompanied with a description including information on the subject. Models: manufacturer, description of work done, custom paint/decals, etc. Prototype photos: location, date, photographer, description of train or scene
All photos should be crisp with good depth of field and decent lighting
Digital photos should be a minimum of 800 pixels on the longest side (1024 or larger is preferred)
Hard-copy photos or slides can be mailed--please contact me via e-mail to coordinate this
Submitting Articles or Other Material
Articles can take many forms. In fact, I have turned several e-mails into articles (with the author's permission, of course). Articles should cover subjects appropriate to Appalachian coal-hauling prototypes or modeling techniques for Appalachian models and layouts. Photos are not required, but should be included if describing a modeling technique.
If you are a contributor and would like to include your e-mail for site visitors to be able to contact you, or if you have contributed and I inadvertently left you off the list, please contact me. Thank you for contributing!
