Current status
No affiliate links appear anywhere on this page, or on the rest of thebrindleline.com, as of the effective date above. This disclosure exists ahead of time so the policy is on the record before any affiliate link is ever published.
Disclosure
The Brindle Line is a small, independent railroad-history and model-railroading media project. To help cover hobby and production costs, future articles, videos, newsletter issues, and social posts from The Brindle Line may contain affiliate links — for example, links to model railroading tools, kits, books, or supplies where we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through those links, at no additional cost to you.
Where applicable, this may include participation in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites, as well as other manufacturer, retailer, or hobby-industry affiliate and referral programs.
This is a material connection between The Brindle Line and any merchant or program in question: our recommendation and the possibility of compensation are disclosed here so you can weigh both when deciding whether to use a link.
How this will work going forward
- Any piece of content that contains an affiliate link will say so near the link itself, not only on this page.
- Affiliate relationships never change an editorial recommendation: we link to products because we'd recommend them regardless of commission.
- This page will be updated whenever an affiliate program is added, changed, or dropped, and the effective date above will be revised accordingly.
Questions
This disclosure is provided in the interest of compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and material connections (16 CFR Part 255). Questions about this policy can be directed to The Brindle Line's editorial contact once published contact channels are live.
