Just wanted to let everyone know that we've updated the website to reflect the May issue (which I believe is being printed this weekend).

This includes the contents of the May issue and online videos of the K-Line Train Master and RMT Beep diesels reviewed in the May issue.

Our updated product news includes a production sample of the new Williams Canadian Pacific F3 (to be reviewed in the July issue), the ETS/SEMAFOR Garratt 2-6-0+0-6-2 (to be reviewed in the September issue) , and the American Models S gauge U25B (to be reviewed in the July issue).

Perhaps I misread but your page on the next issue reads that you're reviewing an MTH engine in two issues? Ted

Hi Ted,

In our May issue I review the K-Line Train Master, the MTH/RailKing SW9, the Williams Centercab, the RMT Beep, a RailKing starter set,the 3rd Rail brass Q1 4-6-4-4, and the long-term review is the RailKing M-10000.

In the July issue I review the Weaver VO 1000, the Williams "Golden Memories" Canadian Pacific F3 passenger train set, the American Models S gauge U25B, the MTH Premier line PRR 2-10-0, and the long-term review is the ETS 2-4-4-0T.

And in the September issue, subject to change, I plan to review the MTH Premier line, DD-1 electric, the ETS Garratt, the 3rd Rail CB&Q 4-8-4, and possibly something else. I believe the long-term review will be the Weaver U25B.

Its refreshing to see articles on other than North American trains in CTT. Although no doubt in the minority, there is a substantial interest in British and European trains.
With the introduction of further new models particularily from Ace and ETS, we look forward to further reviews.
Maybe even a picture feature in the magazine?

Looks like another page turner! The subscription is money well spent.

We'll be reviewing the Ace A4 when we receive it - I have been told we'll either get the locomotive alone, or the locomotive with the Coronation set Weaver will distribute in the U.S.

The ETS Garratt has done a fine job in testing, and it certainly catches the eye of anyone in the building who sees it. Correct, semi-correct, or close-enough-for-government work rolling stock to look right behind it might be a bit of a challenge, but it is a fun engine to run.

I sort of have the impression that Bassett-Lowke doesn't have any projects on the front burner, but if they crank out a new locomotive and they loan one to us, we'll review it.
