The official on-sale date is June 3rd. Some of the guys got advance copies mailed out from our office because of their contribution to the Legacy story. I suspect most subscribers will receive their copies next week.

Bob: 

Thanks for the "official info" regarding CTT delivery.  Guess I can ease up some in setting my pace for accomplishing "honey dos" and still have time left over for reading it when it arrives.

Bob here in Southeastern Montana it is something of a wait and...hold it!  I think I see the Deadwood Stage com'n into town!  Gotta go!

Sad, but no railroad ever made it to Broadus.  The nearest was the Chicago NW at Colony, Wyoming 75 miles away!

My issue arrived around 4 PM today. As always a top notch job with a few surprises. I especially liked the Special Lionel products of the 60's. Kind of a lost era of O Scale, if you ask me.
Good to see what you fellas look like outside of an avatar.

As I said, just like a Yankee to spoil all the fun.  Well, he is one who eats GRITS so he is not too bad.  Maybe he is more of a displaced Southerner. Whistling [:-^]

Marty,

I usually send out my pet alligater to eat the vermin, trash cans don't get tampered with as much, just kidding. I have raccoons and foxes here in south Florida where I live, have not seen a gator nearby.

Got my copy of CTT today, cover was in great shape so maybe it was just late shipping.

Mine came all screwed up. It's like there are 2 CTT's put together!!!  It goes like this:

Pages 1-26, 39-50, 39-62, 51-62, 75-100. Pages missing: 27-38, 63-74.

I wonder how this could have happened!!!

BANNED in BUCKEYELAND!!!

Yes, indeed the new issue of CTT was official banned in Buckeyeland due to the inclusion of a photo of the Chief.   The announcement stated that they did not want to see mass riots in the streets of Roger's Corners due to this antagonistic photo.   Needless to say, I have a clandestine copy and I am selling peeks at the Chief's photo.  I hope the Roger's Corners police force does not find out about my illegal copy. 

Laz and Marty....Looking good there guys!!!!  I think you are ready for your own TV show.  We could call it Trains with Laz and Marty.  Pretty orginal, don't you think? 

Congratulations to one and all for this outstanding achievement.  (I didn't even know the Chief could write.  Confused [%-)]

Do you think they banned it in Maryland, too?  Call me and I will read my issue to you over the phone.  (Do not reverse the charges, as the Chief does all the time to me.)

Mel.....Don't worry I used to have those nightmares, too.  Started about four years ago the day after the Chief visited me in Roger's Corners.  Very expensive therapy sessions for weeks and weeks with rare medicines have stopped the nightmares, but now I find myself singing Yankee Doodle several times a day.

I have two copies [advanced and regular subscription].  I'll autograph one and mail it to you. Wink [;)]  Right now, an autographed copy from me is running about $1,000 per copy in Buckeyeland. Shock [:O]  With a bag of GRITS thrown in, it runs about $1,400 each. Whistling [:-^]
