Their can be a few month window between placing an ad and having a magazine hit the streets. It is possible that sometimes advertisers sell out before the magazine is printed.

I'm on their e-mail for special sales and you should check their site from time to time.

Been ordering from their MR ads;never a problem.

The Trainworld HO Athearn blowout sale has been going on for some time now. I have placed two orders for these engines, one in December and one in January, with excellent results on both. Trainworld is a reputable dealer if you can get past some of their telephone order-takers who can be pretty irritable sometimes.
