Thanks for that info Jenny (do you have some US issues as well as the
.au ones?) ,unfortunately I've never read the story "No such Varmint"
,so can't comment on it. 
It sounds to me like Dangerous Disguise was censored for political
reasons ,the .au government at the time not wanting to install any lack
of confidence in the rail system. I would love to see the missing panels
if someone has the time to scan them for me.

Alecto.
