Don't have mine and no one has posted a thread about it.  I don't think they have been sent yet, but should be soon.

Usually from the 25th to the 30th you'll start getting them.  We hope?

Got mine today, too. Thoroughly enjoyed the article on Lionel's "Brute." I also like the new format for the "Reviews" section - much improved, IMO. Great issue, as usual. Smile [:)]

Received mine today as well. Another excellent issue. CTT has been on a run lately (at least as far as I am concerned) with stories I really like. Keep of the good work, CTT!

Ugh....I subscribed just about 3 weeks ago.  I guess I'm going to have to break down and pickup the mag on the newsstand to make sure I don't miss it.  I may not get my regular subscription until the June issue.

I subscribed online less than three weeks ago, and mine arrived on Saturday, yours should be on the way.  I don't know how you subscribed but I can't imagine that there is that big of a difference in the processing time.

To all,

I got a chance to read some of the articles last night.  The lead article on the layout by the relative of the last czar of Russsia was very interesting.  I wonder why it took so long to get it published after the person passed away.  Maybe that was at the request of the family.  The article on the Brute was good as well.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana

Thanks ATSJer, I hope you're right.  I subscribed online...but I read somewhere that mag subscriptions sometimes take 8-12 weeks to start.  It all depends on when you subscribe and what cycle it's in.  I haven't received anything yet...I'll wait until this weekend.

Mike, I was wondering that too - 3 years!

I love the photo format for the reviews that highlights bits around the model. I missed that MTH Baldwin. Glad Bob showed it to us.

Do you guys ever look at the videos posted for the reviews? I wish they were a tad better lit but they now play in the browser rather than as a download - and they have one of those stationary roller things that makes that cab forward look really cool!

 Just picked up my copy today. Evidently the Chief's Grits are having a bad effect on the Crew at CTTWink [;)] As there is a typo in the article dealing with the postwar engines & there is a reference to a Screw on the bottom of the Motorized Truck of a Union Pacific Alco. That says to : "Remove this screw to expose the Gears". Wrongo!  This Particular screw is a Motor Mount Screw. If you want to see the Gears, remove the Screws that hold the Truck Sideframes on(two of them) The only gear that will be exposed will be the Worm Gear in the Motor Truck when removing said Screw. Take Care all.
