Model Railroading > April Fools in April Model RailroaderDate: 03/04/21 11:20 April Fools in April Model Railroader Author: WrongWayMurphy Good trick. I'll let the cat out of the bag. They did a gag about our own
Jason Shron having a full size Via pax car in his basement. Nice try Jason and MR, but you have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool this old Texan. :-) Date: 03/04/21 11:30 Re: April Fools in April Model Railroader Author: Frank30 The fact of the matter is Jason Schron DOES have a full size passenger car, but not full length, in his basement.
There was, however, an April Fools joke in the magazine. As I was reading it, I had to turn to cover to check the month as this one was really outrageous! Frank30 Date: 03/04/21 12:22 Re: April Fools in April Model Railroader Author: pilotblue Sorry to sound like the old geezer but..... I like an April Fools joke. I think it needs to be subtle and small. It bugs me that they wasted a half page of possible content for this year's joke. I complained last year when they wasteda whole page of possible content.....maybe we're making progress. I got my issue today, like the WM article!
Date: 03/04/21 12:37 Re: April Fools in April Model Railroader Author: Frank30 It's not like they had a 90 page issue and used the joke instead of something more
important. This indeed was a very thin issue and the joke filled a space that might have gone empty or a house ad. Frank30 Date: 03/04/21 12:40 Re: April Fools in April Model Railroader Author: BCutter At first glance, the article has a certain degree of verisimilitude but upon further review...

Date: 03/05/21 08:47 Re: April Fools in April Model Railroader Author: wabash2800 It was pretty obvious to me... And it wasn't Jason's article.

Date: 03/05/21 12:23 Re: April Fools in April Model Railroader Author: JimBaker I remember Moxel Railrfoader's April Fool editions, especially back in the 1060s.
One of the articles was "labels" as the author by one 'Stentor P. Dillworthy' I have got to review my 50 year DVD and find that particular issue. --Jim Baker Whittier, CA James R.(Jim) Baker Whittier, CA Date: 03/05/21 14:42 Re: April Fools in April Model Railroader Author: TomG grahamline Wrote:

As in no more then half way through the first sentence obvious. Date: 03/06/21 07:13 Re: April Fools in April Model Railroader Author: VaCentralRy Hmmm, model railroading in the 1060s, pre-Norman invasion. Now that would be an April Fool's article, better than the model railroading on the Moon article.
Date: 03/06/21 18:39 Re: April Fools in April Model Railroader Author: wabash2800 Relax, I didn't mean to insult you in any way. I enjoy your input here on Trainorders. I don't want to be a spoiler, but the April Fools joke is funny too since it is something that Jason would love to do...being a fan of the series. Perhaps "Scotty" could make it work?

You make it sound like a bad thing. Date: 03/13/21 14:53 Re: April Fools in April Model Railroader Author: ATSF90East There was a second April Fools gag in this issue that everyone seems to have missed altogether. It's towards the back of the issue in the small ads :)

Maybe for those of us that have the magazine, perhaps you could give us a hint? Victor A. Baird http://www.erstwhilepublications.com |
