I have a suggestion for prizes for the next contest CTT runs: a set of CTT binders. Not the mags, too, just the binders.
I have a complete set of CTT but no binders, and enough binders for all of them would swallow my train budget for most of the year. How about making a set (or sets!) a prize in next year’s contest so that those of us in this boat can try to win them?
Good idea. I’ll pass it downstairs to the Circulation Dept.!
The binders would definately be a prize worth obtaining. While I don’t have every issue, I have more than I can access easily. Going a step further, could they, the circulation dept., make a “first- class” subscription rate that would include a binder and index each year?
Mail the index and binder with the last magazine for the year to save a few cents on postage, and possibly throw in an old copy of another magazine as a teaser, or to reduce overstock, and everyone’s happy.
Just an idea,

Great idea. Those binders are great to have!
having more magazines then i know what to do with, i came up with an idea that is both economical and easy. i get 2" - 3" binders with clear plasic protectorsand put each year into its own binder in order. I do with for ctt, ogr, mr and trains. it keeps the magazines in good condition, makes them easy to find and keeps things neat. i have about 15 bindrs at this time and it works for me…just a thought!
I guess this idea didn’t fly with the Powers-That-Be, huh? Darn. I really wanted to win some!
I took 2-3" white binders and divided it up into sections along with those plastic page protectors. Then I sat down and used a utility knife and cut out what I wanted to keep.Wala! 3-5 yrs in just 2 binders and I can carry them to work and flip to the section I want instantly!!
No offense to the advertisers, but I dont need years of the same advertisments, the good ones you remember!!
