Mine, I just put in in the garden and keeps the pests away there.

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.

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 [:-^]

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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

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.

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.

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]
