hey Chris
Just got my OGR mag yesterday Love your article on the Giants train. Only thing is that you should have just had the pic of your wife alone. Who wants to see your mug!

Chris,

Was that you and your wife standing on the No. 9 car steps in your
trolley museum photos? If so, I have to agree with bluelinec4....
She looks better by herself. holding up the roof of the Derby locomotive!


Just kidding!

Happy Independence weekend, folks!

Lee

Thanks Ben - How the heck did you get your copy already? No doubt that is very true! I haven't seen it yet - maybe Allan should have just cut me out.

Yes, Lee that was us on No. 9. I agree - I like the pics better with just her too.

Just goes to show its not what you know its who you know

Chris:

Yes, next time around we'll just run a photo of your lovely spouse. Very easy on the eyes!

You'll be receiving 10 comp copies of the magazine just as soon as I get the comp list completed--on Tuesday, since I'm off on Monday. You'll likely have received your regular copy in the meantime since they're in the mail now.

Most excellent, Chris! I was pleasantly surprised to see your article when I sat down yesterday to read one of my favorite magazines. I look forward to your step-by-step feature on building a subway layout! Get started, my friend!

Chris,
I meant to post the other day, but better late than never, as we said in the Navy BRAVO-ZULU ! Great job, well done ** Kudos**

Thanks Strap and Kevin. Still looking forward to seeing it. I'm convinced my mailman is a train guy as my last issue came about 3 1/2 weeks after everyone elses and so far no sign of this issue. Maybe today.

Maybe they'll send you the ten issues in ten envelopes..that'll confuse him,

Got my copy yesterday...well done, Chris!

Chris,
Congratulations on the article.

You've just discovered another area covered by Murphy's Law. Any magazine you are really anxious to see, such as when you have an article in it, will be the last to arrive!

By the way mine hasn't arrived yet either!

Jim

Whoopie! Got my copy yesterday (finally!).

Read the articles by Jim and Chis last night. Great job, guys.
But, uh, Chris - next time - Allan is right. Get out of the picture. Just the wife. OK??

Chris,
I just received my Run 237 today; and I had to see what everyone was writing about.
Your article is great; filled with good information and explanations of the procedures. Now, if you could just use different subject matter for the decals; all will be right!

Hey Chris

Great article!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting your wife at Fridays one evening. She was a delight to talk to - your a fortunate guy.

Once again, great informative article - and don't pay attention to that Pennsy Fan guy - the subject matter is just fine.

Paul

congrates chris,i havent seen it yet.but it sounds cool.

Just finished reading the article Chris. Great job! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I learned quite a bit as well. Congratulations!

Finally got my copy and was able to ready the article. Nice Job Chris!
Congratulations and hanks for the good info. I know I'll be using it soon!

Thanks guys. It was a lot of fun to do. Very cool to have an article in my favorite magazine.

I still have not received my subscription copy. Somehow it has made it to Fl, Rockland Co., Dutchess Co., CT, NYC, LI, NJ, but not Ossining! Had the same problem last month - came almost 4 weeks after most people.

Luckily I did receive my comp copies. - Thanks Allan. Looks like I'll just have to write an article every month so I can get my copies.

FINALLY made it to the Jersey Shore. GREAT article, very detailed how-to (albeit a bit too much work for me who falls WAY short of that virtue you speak of). Gotta love those white R12s.

BIG CONGRATS too Chris on your 10th, many more!!!

Thanks Steve. Our 10th is actually tomorrow - July 18th. I knew delivery of the magazine would be right around the actual date so I left it to Allan as to how to word it. Made sense to say we had it recently since it was the Aug/Sept. issue, but had my parents look a little sideways at me over it on first glance.
