Which Trains and Classic Trains issues are your latest?
Posted by Lithonia Operator on Tuesday, May 21, 2019 5:01 PM

Thanks to our postal service telling Kalmbach I had a bad address (same address since 1980; go figure), they made my account dormant, and I have not gotten some issues. The extremely helpful woman at Trains customer service straightened things out, and says that my subscriptions will be extended to cover the non-sent issues.

I'd like to purchase the issues I lost, but don't want to buy something, then have a duplicate show up in the mail.

Have you folks already received the May (Golden Spike) issue and the June (Keystone Railroading) issue of Trains?

Have you already received the Summer (Great 1940s Photos) issue of Classic Trains?

Still in training.

I've gotten the May and June issues of "Trains,"  the summer issue of "Classic Trains" hasn't shown up yet.

I received my June of Trains yesterday; it seems that it was later than previous issues were. I have not yet received the summer issue of Classic Trains either.

I'm as current as these other guys.  I had a problem with Trains that took a while to take care of.  It was though my life had ended.

(No, seriously!  I have a lifetime subscription to Trains--which they stopped offering around 1970 or so--and once I told them that my death hadn't taken place, and that it would be only wishful thinking on my part to extend my subscription, we got things straightened out, with an extension to Classic Trains instead.)

Thanks guys. I’ll wait and see if the CT shows up, then fill my gaps. I don’t collect, just hate to miss issues.
