November??? Don't feel bad, I'm still waiting for my October edition. I'm either a few days, or a month and a few days, from getting the November issue too.

My mail get accumulated at a mail forwarders at the border, then gets sent on in a package once a month. The package usually arrives between the 6th and the 10th of the month here. So the October issue must have arrived at the forwarder's just a bit too late to make last month's package.

Once a month it's party time when all my railroad magazines arrive at the same time! [:D]

I don't have it yet, I'm up in Canada.

I was looking forward to an early release, but it doesn't look that will happen for me.

This is really getting serious. After starting this mess by announcing that I got my trains on the 21st, Kathi may go on the subscription master and enter the comment "Mail last".

Theories:

1. Mookie is right. Bergie is personally delivering all the copies, but stopped at Saluda to wait for a train to get some shots for Trackside, Vol.17.

2. The USPS accidently put all but the few that have been delivered into containers Marked "Return to Outer Mongolia", but were diverted in China due to something about a coal shortage. (If that is true, Noah and I will put ours up on Ebay. That should take care of Noah's college education and I will get that little island in the Caribbean that I have had my eye on).

3. (The scariest). Since the feature article is about chemical shipments, Homeland Security got all the mail copies and is vetting each subscriber. (If you are on the bottom of the stack, maybe NEXT November).

P.S. We know for sure the fault does NOT lie with the crew at Trains.

Not here in Chicago. Trains has an unfortunate tendency to arrive on Mondays with Model Railroader and Time. :)

When I first subscribed in the mid 1980's, the new issues would come around the 15th of the previous month.
