Is this the one that has valuable information regarding the control of modern trains by some top notch experts?  I had heard they searched for the best to do some articles.  Hope to get mine soon.  I think the coffee room at the post office will be through with it some time next week.

Your mailman has a coffe room built onto his canoe?  Never heard of that! My mailman still uses a canoe and rides a horse to get to my house! Maybe my copy will get here in a couple more days if the mail carrier don't have to use it beat off alligators or snakes.

Got mine today too.  The Yanks out number the Rebel 3 to 1.  Nice article at first glance.  Wish they did a little more in way of comments.  Some of the comments seem to need some context with them.  I do like to see CTT promote their forum so well though.  Nice Job everyone.

Mine will probably arrive today wet and mangeled because our postal carrier has a hard time closing our mailbox without trapping 1/2 of the mail in the door. Banged Head [banghead]

Hopefully it will arrive tommorow or I will have to wait until next week! Need some more decent reading material, half way finished with the June Trains Magazine I bought, has an article on the Reading & Northern railroad in it.

Nick.....they ship all of the UK copies through the U. S. prisons first.  That is why the last issue you received was dated June, 2007, not 2008.

Here in N. Michigan the mailman must be hunting turkey or admiring the sunrise over Lake Huron, I'm still looking for my copy.

Hey guys before anyone starts beating up the mailman, I think these were advanced copies to folks who were contributers.

Too Late!  Now I have to bury the evidenceWhistling [:-^]  Poor guy only struggled for a few moments.. till the second shot stopped that.  Just kidding (fife, please don't call out the troops!).  I did check the mail today, but still no magazine.  I guess I get to play this like a mini Christmas in that I really look forward to it, not sure exactly what is in it, but then again, don't know exactly when it will come.

Take care,

dennis

Called up the local alligator trapper to see if he spotted a gator with my magazine and he said he will check on it today if he has time. It is alligator mating season down and the gators are on the loose!!

Why would they send the Roseyville Mayor an advanced copy?

It takes longer for them to understand the pictures, and find someone to do the cipherin of all the letters.

Have been waiting patiently for my July CTT to arrive -- still no luck.  How about one of you who have already received yours send me a used copy when you've finished with it!  It's back yard and boating season now anyway, but I'd love to be able to read CTT when the work is done.
