CTT article published in CTT - P'ville Hospital
Posted by RItrainfan on Thursday, October 23, 2003 9:58 PM
Several years ago, CTT (I believe) published an article about how to kitbash two PLASTICVILLE HOSPITAL kits and create a larger, more interesting structure.

Is there an index to this magazine online -- or somewhere? That would help me locate the article, apply its directions to the kits I've recently purchased for this project, and create a hospital for my O-gauge layout.

Thanks for helping,

Hi,

There are indexes on line - but my using the index binder on my desk is a bit faster!

The Plasticville story was the cover story in the March 1996 issue. The story was "Doctoring up the Plasticville Hospital" and was on p.62.

Have a great day.

Bob K.:

Thanks for the citation to the CTT mag containing the article I'm seeking. How do I find the CTT online index? I've been a CTT subscriber for years, but wasn't aware of that.

Index binder? Great idea; is it for sale by Kalmbach? RSVP ...

Making the disclaimer that nobody at Kalmbach designed the CTT website (otherwise the indexes wouldn't have been hidden in such a dumb place....), if you look at the small cover image in the top left corner, click the "contact us" link.

That link takes you to a page with submission guidelines, staff bios, and Shazam, the indexes. The indexes are in the form of PDF files.

The indexes will be returning to the magazine this year (with the February issue, I think....).

Have a great day.
