Athearn and preview
Great newsletter, but I found a couple of flaws:
Page 2
The text on Athearns new Airslide hoppers is embedded In the text about PBL. and as mentioned the PBL picture caption is listed twice.
Page 5 Issue sneakpeak - there seems that some text is missing in the column 2, between line 7 and 8.

The Peavine and Santa Fe
Eagle-eye KnuT
Leave it to eagle-eye KnuT to find a typo in the sneak peek page text!
Yes, there's two sentences missing and we found them, so the actual paste up is fine.
As to the duplicated Athearn text ... well - I'll have to have a chat with our typesetter and proof-reader (my wife Patty). I promise I'll be nice (if I know what's good for me [wink] ...).

hi i live in the uk and
hi i live in the uk and have just bought a bachmann item no 60301 dcc gp40 union pacific, but it has no number any where on it, so i was wondering why this is, and i have another union pacific by atlas with no number, is this some thing that they did with the loco numbers
thanks mike
Add your own numbers
They do this so you can put your own numbers on if you want a locomotive that they don't offer pre-numbered.
Since they only put out maybe 2 to 4 numbers at a time, this is useful to people with a large fleet.

Download Feb issue
I have tried both formats but get a file titled "cheker.php" with both.
That's a glitch in the browser ...
... just change the .php part of the file to .pdf and it should open fine.
Cheker is our download link counter and it's supposed to immediately redirect you to the actual file - the browser downloads the actual file, but for some reason gets confused on the name.
We've changed the way we're doing downloads with the March newsletter and Issue 2, since testing has shown us what changes we needed to make to solve the download problems for most people. So no more cheker.php!

Okay, changed it to use the new download wizard, so try it now. Works fine for me.
