Congratulations to a great magazine - for both beginners and enthusiasts alike. I've given away hundreds of issues over the years to youngsters and other interested adults.

Well sorry guys, I thought your anniversary would be worth more than 9 replies.

25 years ago...Hardly anybody knew what a "url" was. ("Earl? Earl who?" ) Hobby shops were more plentiful. Cellphones were the size of a lunch box. Chat rooms were places you had to wear clothes to go into. A "Net" was something a fisherman used. And what in the world was this "E-Bay" thing? A place to park your flying saucer?
Glad to have had CTT along for the ride over the last 25 years to give me a smile!

Trains, trains, wonderful trains. The more you get, the more you toot!
I have them all and love this magazine! Everything about it is why I like toy trains. They keep the emphasis on the 'toy' part even with the high rail articles which I also love. Can't say enough good things about CTT.
Ready for another 25!
Has it really been twenty five years? Hard to fathom how fast the time flew by. I was drawn with the first issues learning about the more obscure tinplate, as well as the big three ( Marx, Lionel, AF)..I often wish that the more obscure lines were covered but I understand that this seems to be a minority view.
CTT..thanks for the memories...and especially to Rodger Carp, who keeps the history of toy trains alive.
Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.
sir james I Yes MR and Craftsman were what we read. Once in awhile after MPC rebuilt Lionel, they would toss us an O ga. bone.

LOL
That's what CTT does now to us American Flyer diehards. It tosses us an S gauge bone.
Even so, Happy 25th Birthday, CTT.
