Therefore, it should arrive very soon. I will check with the mailing house if there were some problems. As far as I know everything is fine. I will come back to you on that if something has happened. Shall we wait longer, again Cheers Noel

It seems M need to tweak its mailing service. Atleast in the past I could call Wisconsin and talk to a person who would respond in some fashion to my request. M hasn't even acknowledged my email with credit card payment for renewal.. Stephen

Joined: 10/12/2002(UTC) Posts: 328		My magazine showed up on the 25the of February - but the renewal notification for the Insider club (which is due on the 15th of Feb) - and was sent from Stuttgart on the 4th of January - didn't show up until the 4th of March. The possible explanation: the renewal slips to North America, went by sea and not by airmail. As well the large volume of materials in the first insider mailing going to the US resulted in most US addresses being shipped by Sea at once. Since there are very very few Canadian insders - airmail was likely more effecient

M must be using a fulfilment house which has shipments on a low priority. Even so, I renewed via email and have not had an acknowledgement from M. Stephen

Joined: 25/01/2004(UTC) Posts: 639 Location: ,		Finally got my Insider packet today but no renewal form... My impression is that the Magazin is even lighter than the original "International" version, The Insider news never really did anything for me and this is not an improvement. Still waiting for the German version of the Magazin before I reserve final judgement. Finally got my catalogs, too. I liked the hard cover, but the paper was thinner. It's a catalog. Cheers, p.

Joined: 18/09/2004(UTC) Posts: 789 Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico		Got the magazine pack (MM#1 plus Insider, coupons I will never use etc.) two days ago. So, March 9th to get to New York City... Whatever. I am mystified that M* seems to be wilfully ignorant of the fact that these delays mightily p** off their overseas customers. So the Insider model will be a Henschel Wegmann train set at a proposed $865 US. Looks like a nice paint scheme but the loco will appeal to only a few, I think. The price is pretty steep IMHO. Different format for the magazine. Check out the back cover-there is a cutout to "test the new Marklin magazine", 3 issues plus a 1:87 truck for 10 Euros, then an offer to extend subscription for a yearly Eur 28.80. Might be the way to go in future. They will probably say not good in the US.

Joined: 18/09/2004(UTC) Posts: 789 Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico		Further reflection-I think that M* really does not understand that these delays are a problem (on the other hand the suspicious side of my nature tells me that M* is phasing out Insider club and going to magazine subscription only). It seems so contrary to what I have experienced in Germany and Austria. Case in point-the last time I visited there was a few years ago. Took Austrian Air from JFK to Vienna. Plane was 1 1/2 hrs late taking off due to ATC holds. Pilot was VERY bothered and apologetic, then burned a lot of fuel and arrived Vienna precisely on time, announcing this with obvious pride. Same trip-local train from Garmisch to Munich was 15 min late. The world had obviously ended according to pax. Conductor comes around apologizing to each pax individually. I could go on... Why is M* so different?

Joined: 25/01/2004(UTC) Posts: 639 Location: ,		There are still many Germans who haven't gotten theirs yet either. The delays I can live with and the dealers I use, http://www.westendtrains.com and www.reynaulds.comare aware of them and orders still go through. It's sloppy business though and combined with a bunch of other things has turned me off of the club. Like you almost never buy any of the club cars/engines and the ones I have gotten have been far cheaper on ebay (my BR10 - Delta Version - for $150). I think the Magazine (International version) has lost much of it's content and usefulness. The version we got last year was better, also in terms of layout. I'm still waiting for the German version which I continue to subscribe to before I decide on whether to continue that. With the savings I could easily subscribe to something like Eisenbahn Journal, in addition to the MIBA I already receive. It's too bad for the non-German speakers though.

Westendtrains in Toronto http://www.westendtrains.com is offering it for $697.09US. Kuhn Eurobahntrains http://www.eurobahntrains.comhas it for $771.30. Reynaulds hasn't posted their prices online yet. You could also order from Germany. ETS http://www.modelleisenbahn.com has it listed for €589.00.

My great great great grandfather would be loving this!) 2. How to fix all of their problems. 3. That their marketing machine is about 2 years ahead of the manufacturing such that by the time the thing has actually arrived we are getting excited by the next thing that marketing has hyped us about to buy the product.. (or we found something better and cheaper made by a competitor) 4. That a gobal company means more countries than Germany, France, Austria and USA.. 5. That shipping does not include canoes!!! 6. That 4 weeks is one month - not three.. 7. Sending an Insider renewal letter with a "must pay" date of the previous month is really annoying and will not do much to generate sales..

They should have made him stay in Scotland, then it would the English complaining about having the Scots in charge. Actually both of them should be complaining about a German sitting on the throne since despite the name Windsor Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II is descended from a German noble house. Ira

I actually could have copied your post, would have told the same, but quicker ....!!! Regards, Johann

Doesn't that look like the Airport Express I got you?" I said yes. (Lufthansa Express, many moons ago) I then said it is $800. She gave me The Look. Quick response: "[:I]I am not getting one. Really!" 2005 was my first year as an insider. It will be the last. No useful information in the MM, a yearlok I will not buy, etc. On the other hand, the 'insider' items from Roco look more interesting.
