It's not known if Bill Schopp's Model Railroad Dictionary, which ran in Railroad Model Craftsman beginning in September 1959, was a direct competitor to The Dictionary of Non-Existent Model Railroad Terms, or if either group knew about the other. But what is known is that Mr. Schopp's dictionary ran from late '59 to mid '61 in RMC - with an index to the entire series printed along with the last instalment in the May '61 issue. As with all of Mr. Schopp's work, it is thorough, and a fascinating snapshot of the terms of its time.
Notes about E. L. Moore, mid-20th century model railroading, and other model making related interests.
