The last couple months, both Trains and Model Railroader have arrived together in a single wrap. I really like that as it helps keep the pages from getting all bent up or sometimes torn or water damaged. I wonder if postage is less as well, However, this month I received Trains unwrapped a couple days ago, but still no Model Railroader. I’ll give it a few more days as USPS service varies greatly up here in northern Wisconsin. But was the bundling just an experiment or is it something that will be continued in the future?
Same pattern for me. I wonder if it is tied to when the magazine is printed. I did notice that the email for the digital edition of Trains arrived much earlier than MR this month as well.
My issues of MR and Trains were bundled together again this month (Feb 2025 issues)

Hello and thanks for subscribing! This is something that Quad Graphics, our printer, has started to do to save on mailing costs. They will polybag several titles together if the timing works out. This could include other non Firecrown titles too, if you’re a subscriber and they have a similar mailing schedule.
