Here is an idea and it may just be tax deductible.If they are in a hardcover binder your local library may accept and catalog them in the toy/hobbies section.Or a local Boy Scout group may accept them as a donation as I believe there is still a badge for toy train layout building or the like.There would be put to good use either way..Russ

not sure if they have a classified section here, they do on the O Gauge Mag Fourm. Offer them for sael. Maybe Kalmbach might even be interested. If you were to sell indivudal issues, there's some I'd be interested in.

Hi!

I put together a sizeable Lionel postwar collection in the '80s and '90s, but my interest is just not what it was back then.  For the last ten years, my "RR Time" is spent with my HO layout, with little or no time on the Lionel.

I was an initial subscriber to CTT, and continue to subscribe.   And, many years ago I picked up several of the red CTT binders in which to keep them safe.  Well, they take up a lot of space, and I don't use them and have decided to get rid of them. 

From what I recall, the early issues were once a hit on Ebay, but now it seems like they aren't worth near as much.  And, I don't know anyone who would be interested in them.

Anyone have any ideas?

ENJOY  !
