Is it just my aging eyes, or did it seem to anyone else that a number of the ads had very small print? Like some of them reduced the size of the ad but crammed in the same amount of info. Some of them were very hard to read.

I got mine on the 24th, a nice little Christmas surprise. The Marx material was a wonderful change of pace, even though I don't actively pursue Marx. I hope we see more of the like.

I'll add my vote for increased SG coverage, tloo.

Great issue! Love the Marx focus, especially that wonderful layout. And the S-gauge layout article was also interesting. Looking forwad to the March issue already. Thanks to the CTT staff for getting this issue to us in time for Christmas. Mine arrived on my birthday, so I considered it sort of a present.

I wish we had 12 issues a year, too! That way, there would be more room for STANDARD GAUGE (I know how to beat a dead horse, don't I?)! [;)]

I just got my issue yesterday and am saving it also for next week's commute. I too wish it was 12 issues.

Enjoying it so much. Sure wish it was a 12 month thing. Those dry spells cause withdrawal. [;)]

I was going to give it back to the Mailman.But, A Man in Black drove up beside me in a Corvair with Texas plates and gave me a scare and I dropped the CTT and lost it.[;)][:P][:)]

Got mine yesterday. It kinda got overshadowed by the arrival of my Williams Timkin car and catalog. I enjoyed the whole magazine already. I hope they are able to keep up the good work. I was hoping to see some more from RMT.

Got mine in the mail today, too.

I'm no rivet counter, but there's no way the #8811 Alaska locomotive on the bottom of page 49 is a GP38 (caption description). Looks more like a Geep 7 or 9.

Heck I am still waiting for my January issue. I wish Keith would give it back to the mailman so he could deliver it.

Yep, got mine today, too. My initial page-through revealed no Standard gauge. Bummer. [V]

Keep on training,

Mine also came today. It seems that I'm usually the one who gets mine a week after everyone else. It's nice that it's here now while I'm home for the holidays. I'm glad that Marx is finally getting its due in CTT! Being a tinplater, I've found the past two CTT issues to be better than other recent ones, with the Marx and Standard gauge features.
