Unfortunately, I suspect that a Big Boy would be bigger than her back yard...

I may be one of the few people who actually has a lifetime subscription to Trains. I got it when I was still in college, and they quit offering them shortly thereafter. It was one of those things that seemed stupid at the time (to some people, family and friends among them), but you can't get a two-year subscription any more for what I paid for that!

I'd leave it to my little sister in my will, if I could!

That would have been late-1960s/early-70s, yes? I'm always amazed by the number of life subscriptions we're still honoring. While the number has dwindled somewhat in the 15 years I've been here, I can't escape the nagging feeling that many of the people who still get them are aging well up into their 120s. Carl excepted, of course.

Thank you for reading Trains magazine! click here if you dare

Mike, it was about 1967 or 1968 when I bought that lifetime subscription. Definitely no regrets.

I'm curious: can you state just how many of us there are left?

As for your fears, I hope I'm still enjoying my subscription after you retire (I'm 54...think about it).
