Congratulations to TRAINS, and the staff! 

On the inside, on the cover is a little symbol of TRAINS 80th  year of publication...1940 to 2020 !

That just killed ME!   

                I think it was back in an issue in the 1950's(?)

     There was an offer for a LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION for $50 bucks !  

  I did not take it up.. For various reasons at the time....[mostly, lack of funds!] 

  Not to mention at the time, I think I remember, that the price per issue was less than one George Washington

 So here I am, April 2020... About to order my next year 12ea@ $40.80.

             HECK OF A DEAL    

                                                 So Congratulagtions, TRAINS ! 

                                   Another year older!

Yes, Sam, money supply was quite limiting 69 years ago, as mine was when I found my first issue (with the father and son watching the Abraham Lincoln in Joliet on the cover).

I wonder if there is anyone still getting magazines from that offer.

I did sign up for an NMRA life membership before I left for Vietnam in 1967. I thought it would be a good deal if I made it back, and if I didn't I wouldn't miss the money.
