Non-Subscribers. Give yourself up.

Hi Snell50 !!!

I have to say that although I subscribe to both CTT and OGR, I may not re-subscribe. The magazines do tend to have an interesting article or two, but with the online forums, I can get all my "how do I do this" questions answered. The magazines, particularly OGR, are just collections of ads from the discounters. And, that would be cool, since who doesn't like to buy at discount, except that the ads are submitted so far in advance that the products being advertised are usually not even available anymore by the time the magazine hits my mailbox. For example, need I point out how many CTT and OGR advertisers were offerring the Lionel Reading 0-6-0 Docksider and the Lionel Polar Express sets last fall and winter, long after they were sold out nationally??? So, I'm not so sure I'd re-subscribe to either one, but I could see going to Barnes and Noble from time to time to sip on a Starbucks Coffee drink and page through the latest issue of CTT and OGR to see if I want or need to buy that particular issue.

Snell50, you might want to save your money and use it to buy some train stuff. As Ben Franklin once said, "Well done is better than well said." I'd adapt that to "Well done is better than well read..."
