I have yet to get it. Of course, it took an extra week before I got the last one. Hope y'all enjoy it and don't tell me how it ends! Getting layout plans together, so hope to use some information for that.

Hope it comes before Easter! Magazines seem to take an awfully long time to reach us here on the Alabama Gulf Coast. My LRRC Inside Track just arrived yesterday, and it was pretty beat up when it got here.

It came March 28! Pretty good!![:)] And I've been enjoying reading it!

Got my LRRC Inside Track yesterday, too. I don't see much improvement from previous issues, to be honest with you. No CTT yet.

Great issue. But I did notice that in Bob's very positive review of the Williams Hudson, he didn't say a word about the smoke unit's performance. Not a single word. I've heard that Hudson's smoke unit leaves a lot to be desired.

Loved the Williams ad on the back cover. Great comparisons between old beatup PW locos and brand new ones from Williams.

Arrived yesterday in Northwest Illinois. Love that Williams ad. Heck, it was their CTT ad that got me interested to buy their GG-1 and I'm thinking on the PE trolley featured in that TTOS ad of a few issues ago. In fact, now that i think on it - l love perusing the ads almost as much as the issue - did you see the K-line for sale by Western Depot?

No conspiracy jaabat, just a lack of space. The review was five or six paragraphs longer as-written. The smoke unit performance is comparable to a postwar loco, or any pre-TurboMegaHumongoSmoke unit steamer.

Got mine Saturday. Enjoyed the 2056 Southern review. The 2056 has been my favorite engine since Christmas of 52. Mine now has Milwaukee livery, hello Williams, lots of Milwaukee fans out there. As usual the issue was excellent and my son and I enjoyed it.
