How about this; combine the two back into one monthly magazine and call it Trains (like it used to be).

Not for me.  I get lost reading Trains, too much tech I haven't kept up with, which is why I don't subscribe.  I like the way CT authors often take the time to explain things.

Trains, trains, wonderful trains.  The more you get, the more you toot!  Big Smile

My laptop has been in the shop.  Will get back after I educate myself on the subject.

Be a great idea as long as the quality does not deteriorate.  Trains Magazine should also consider going bi-monthly they seem to be struggling for articles.

TRBB, I have been waiting to hear you comments on the thread in the Trains-Passenger forum about the DBAG contract on the California HSR project.

I'll stick with quarterly. But that's just me. Some here have called for a return of Trains Illustrated. I had thought CT was just it's replacement. Nowadays, CT is the only one I read and subscribe to. But if TI does come back, I could go for that as well.

Fire starter for steam preservationists.... 

Diesel works fine for that too.  And having a little bit of diesel in the fuel on an oil-fired engine makes lighting up way easier too.

That would be okay; M10000 was distillate, not diesel.Smile

I'm in as long as they don't do an ""All Diesel issue"...ever. 

 

What if it's all about the original Zephyr and M10,000?

A bi-monthly would be great if, if, they don't wind up exhausting their material.

Hard to imagine that happening but it can happen.

I would, if there is good-quality or even interesting material to support the extra issues.

On the other hand I don’t subscribe, so my opinion here doesn’t carry objective weight.

How many readers would like to see Classic Trains become a bi-monthly publication instead of the current quartery?
