Hi, Denny -
I will be in Sacramento starting on May 1 for the PCR Convention.
If it is just two boxes I am willing to take them. Several clubs I know would want these back issues.

Re: Throwback Tuesday: Athearn Rolling Stock Ad, Model Railroader October 1959
I have just such a project on my workbench right now. A new roof, an Accurail fish belly underframe, and the usual improvements to the sides and ends are involved.

Folks,
I’m not sure if the discussion of Media Mail would be on-topic for the RPO List. But I AM sure that it’s NOT on-topic for STMFC.

Re: Mainline Modeler collection disposal.
Gary, I suspect that used magazines could be considered “books” as the advertising is dated and thus no longer applicable.

Re: Mainline Modeler collection disposal.
That's because you don't want media mail, but rather Bound Printed Matter rate:
Difference between Bound Printed Matter and Media Mail! ... So it's a bulk rate service, much cheaper than regular Media

I looked up the media that qualify for media mail rates on the USPS web site, and magazines and newspapers aren’t listed. Maybe the rules changed?
