Nov-Dec NSR

Great article by Bill Denton on kit-bashing Rock Island's coaches 323 - 338 with vestibules at both ends.  However, because "spell check" is not a "grammar checker", the teaser on the cover conjures up images of "pistols at one pace in the vestibule"!

At least, they managed to keep the correct form of "du*l" everywhere in the article, itself.

Well done, Bill!!

Anyone else think of Aaron Burr and a mouth full of peanut butter any time they see the word duel? Anyone?

I would like to take this opertunity to coin a new word. I am planning to "Dentonize" a few of my older lightweight  coaches  for use as comuter cars on my Grand Valley Railway.

Bill: Just claim because of your hockey deprived state you used a "Canadian version" of the word...now, you didn't but what the hell; no one south of the 49th line would know because y'all assume we speak and write English "weird like" anyway.....LOL  :facepalm:
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Great commercial, and yes.
