Ok, I'll make another trip around the Barn. You just never know what you will find laying around that could be used for a Model Rail Road project.
PC101SeeYou190, I wanted to ask you what you'd think about a project I was thinking of, but at this time I forgot what it was
I forget what I went to the garage for in the time it takes me to walk there.
Feel free to ask me anything when it comes back to you.

Well, we're just kinda' takin' the long way around the barn, until more subscribers get their issue.
Nobody has yet confirmed just what it is, just conjecture.

So is it now ok to post what we think the April Fools is?

mbinsewi ba&prr I think it's on page 37. Article on space saving industries I don't think so, check this out on the Narragansett Pier RR, scroll down about 1/2 way, and a track diagram from the Sept. 1974 MRR. Mike.

If he's thinking it's the middle piece about the small coal yard - sorry, the Durham & Southern Railway was real, and Apex and Dunn are two actual towns in the state along the line. M/H. Head might be an unfortunate name, but probably real. Though the only oil tank I see in either photo is more likely oil or fuel for the company trucks, or maybe hydraulic oil.

maybe 'creepy & kooky'?
csxnsMight have something to do with a boxcar and a truck trailer.
I thought that was a simple error transposing the two numbers. Certainly nothing like good old Auric Goldfinger.
Maybe there isn't one... that would be tragic.

Pretty lame if that’s it. I saw it and figured it was just an editorial error.

I thought it might have been the KISS metal loads, but not sure.
I cannot find it for certain.

I got my issue about 4 or 5 days earlier than usual, and when you consider that February is a small month (even with the extra day tacked on) it works out to about a full week early.
As for the Fool Joke . . . I found a mathematical mistake and a typo. Do either of those count?
And regarding Kato . . . I've been mispronunciating that for about 20 years (blame Bruce Lee). I am making a serious effort to correct and adjust, but Kah-toe still sounds a little funny.

I always get them that early, last week of two months prior - so I will get May about a week before march actually ends. It was about the same even when I was mailed a paper copy. When they first started digital versions, I got both (I think that was the only way you could do it - you had to have a physical subscription and then there was an "add digital" option, but no pure digital subscription). I would get the digital version, and a couple of days later I'd get the paper copy, usually after I had already read the digital version, but still before the end of the month.
I don't remember a time when I was a subscriber it wasn't like this. But I think back in the day before my time it was more like, the end of the month you got the next month's issue, not 2 months like now.
Mine came on the 28th, early for me, and I flipped through it and I am not seeing it, or them? Taking my time to read it, maybe I'll get it.

chutton01If you are thinking of the numbering one
Nope, nothing about numbering.

I know which one you mean. I was thinking, this can't be real. Then I went to the URL - hmm, either someone went to WAY too much effort, or it really is a legit product.

trwroute Why so early? Isn't this still the middle of February?

Brace yourself because black is white and up is down: the cover date isn't the month of publication, it is the date retailers are supposed to pull that issue and return them to the publisher or destroy them.
Mine just arrived in the mail.
I am going to read it tonight and try to find the April Fools joke.
I just picked up the April 2020 issue at my LHS.
I have my first thought, I stop there. I hope I'm wrong.
Yeah... , APRIL FOOLS

John-NYBW dknelson Just remember the (unwritten) ground rule: no discussing or giving away the "April Fool's Joke" until a decent interval has passed, so that those who buy on a newstand don't feel like second class citizens. Dave Nelson I usually get my copy AFTER it shows up at my LHS. What does that make me?

To John-NYBW, A good person. You are supporting your LHS, you probably buy more stuff when you are there and you pay more money per copy for the MR magazine then other people that have subcriptions. It's a win win for both business's.
I think Dave is just making a tongue-in-cheek thing about how some forum members get a bit upset when the secret is let out too soon.
A good reminder, Dave.
