    At least in this article it is obvious to all the Onion is a spoof publication.

    Nope. Didn't miss it. Just commenting on The Onion. A publication which has duped many a person with their fake news and attempts at humor. This time at least it very was clear they were pulling people's legs.

    I can get a pretty serious crash on my layout by turning the booster on first. Everything goes nuts then

    I will never understand people being duped by the Onion, but then, I grew up with them.

    Seems to be mostly a certain smart people that really want to believe what the Onion prints.
    Who are these people you may ask? Not most N-Scale people I'm sure.

    he he Any time something humorous comes up about model trains, someone ends up emailing it to me. This one was pretty good I thought.

    If I could do it all over again I would apply for a job with The Onion. Jim
