Thanks,

It is a very good article in the magazine, and the video is a nice compliment.

At the end of the article on the Black Diamond Railway,  it says you can go to the layout visit part of the web site to see a video. I can't find the video in that section. Could someone please point me in the right direction? thanks.

Great Issue. Read it cover-to-cover.

 Looking forward to the Lionel d-146 display layout feature coming up. I'm building a layout in my garage but don't have enough room on it for all my accessories. Maybe I could build a d-146 to display those accessories that'll still need a home.

I've been a subscriber since the second issue.

This is the best in a long time.

Let's see more like it

Holy cow you mean I got 25 years of those things, that's gotta be a fire hazard.

Congrats CTT

Jon,

These were one-shots (okay, two-shots) that were not directly tied into the concept that became CTT. The two issues published were intended to be a stand-alone intro to the hobby for Christmastime shoppers, rather than a title that featured in-depth coverage of old trains or collecting..

A few years back we (Kalmbach) published Model Trains Step-By-Step which was more of an evolution of the concept.

Question:  In the article on the founding of CTT Dick never mentioned the Pre-CTT Holiday Issue that came out around a year before.  It had a great article on how to detail O-27 track!

Wonderful and most fitting to see David Smith's O-27 layout in this 25th Anniversary issue of the magazine.  There's a great video of it in action on YouTube:

CTT 25TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE
Posted by LittleTommy on Sunday, September 23, 2012 9:32 AM

My 25th Anniversary Issue arrived in yesterday's mail and it was AWESOME. 

Great features, great articles! 

I tried to complain about something (it's in my nature) but I couldn't find anything. All the aspects of the hobby seems to have at least a little somthing about them in the issue.

As a charter subscriber from some 25 years ago, I think the writing has gotten better and the reviews are more informative over the years.

Outstanding issue, Congradulations on both a stellar issue and just surviving and thriving for 25 years !

Little Tommy
