It’s fall again and we are now preparing for our 1986 Steam
& Gas Show Directory. You should receive your Directory mailing
in the coming month, asking for your 1986 listing. Deadline is
again December 15. If you do not have a copy of the Directory
request by October’s end, please tell us and we’ll mail
it.
A few of our readers in Washington State received copies of our
September issue bound with the wrong pages. As you can understand,
this happens occasionally. If you receive a magazine with a serious
quality problem such as this, or one badly damaged en route, please
send us a note indicating what your problem was, and we will send
another copy. It is not necessary to return the defective copy; we
take your word for it, and want to save you that expense.
Comments are coming in on our introduction of color pages
inside, in addition to color on the covers. We feel the added cost
is worthwhile for us, in order to keep improving your magazines. If
you have good clear photos or slides, please let us see them with
ample identification of engines shown.
How did your organization do on this year’s shows and
reunions? We are receiving some show reports, but we’d also
appreciate some summaries that can tell fellow subscribers briefly
how many collectors took part, showing how many engines, how many
people attended, and what your outlook is for next year’s
events. Yep, 1985 is about over, and 1986 is only a short time
away!
Christmas is on the way. We recommend that husbands, wives and
children share the magazine when gift shopping, and remind you that
the earlier the order, the greater the assurance that what you
order will be in Santa’s pack!
