Well a FULL YEAR after submitting some pics of my father-in-law's toy train set to Classic Toy Trains magazine, they surprised us with a 2-page spread and an amazingly nice write-up of one of the images.
You never know how photo editors make their choices. This is not even close to my favorite shot of the bunch, but it's the one they picked to print BIG:

(Despite the loss of my photo storage drive, I was able to salvage this from an email I had sent a year ago!)
Fame and fortune! (Well, fifty bucks is better than a stick in the eye.)
