   Just wondering if anyone, I'm sure there is, has had their layout in Classic Toy Trains. I certainly have not, but it is one of my lifes ambitions to get in. Got to build a bigger layout first.

Actually, i think the magazine is looking for small, detailed layouts to feature.  Bigger isn't always better...at least thats what my better half saysWhistling [:-^]

I know Perry who posts in Sunday Photo Fun often has been in the magazine, his is a gorgeous detailed layout and scenery .  I believe Roger B was also in CTT and Roy McClellan was in the article about the display layouts he has worked on.  I am sure there are others too.  I personally think Frank53's layout ought to be in there.  Check out it out at http://www.lionellines.net

Frank53's layout will be eventually. But he has a way to go before his layout is finished.

They have a batch of photos of my layout that a photog that contacted me for a shoot submitted.  CTT contacted me once to discuss the layout but I didn't have a set of the "proofs", they sent me copies of the photos they were interested in but never got back to me a second time.

Our own 'cheapclassics' Mike Conley has also had more than a few articles.

I had a letter to the editor in Model Railroader and I was mentioned in a CTT editorial - do those count?

OKC - Wow, David, that's some portable display!  The CTT pics don't do it justice though.  Could you kindly post some pics (maybe on Sunday photo fun...)

Hey fifedog ... Thanks for your post.  Sorry for the delay in getting back, as I have been running freight at 2 Canada Day celebration events today, and just got home.  I'll try to post some pics tomorrow, (after I figure out the black magic in photo posting).

Regards ... in trains,

Dave

Happy Canada Day!  (While there's still a little of it left.)

We were very lucky on Dominion Day (that's what they called it then) in 1959.  While driving the Alaska Highway, we hit a rock and damaged our suspension.  The only mechanic in the next little town was Quebecois and only too happy to work on the holiday to make a political point!

We will give it a whirl with some pics ... I'm a "greenhorn" at photo posting.  Hope this works.
