Oh, it's there, all right -- on page 106. Under Product Reviews, a Very Large Scale Boxcar priced at $58,699.00.

Not a bad joke
Posted by trainfan1221 on Thursday, April 1, 2004 7:15 PM
A year or 2 ago, MR pulled an April fool joke with a layout called NOTRAK. It was modeling what becomes of an abandoned rail line after it is converted to a trail. Ironically, before I realized it was a joke, I actually liked it! I think it is interesting occasionally if someone models what was, as well as what is.
If there is a joke in this years issue, I haven`t caught it yet...
