When you started video plus I wondered what would happen to my regular newsletter & expressed my concerns, being told it was only in addition to the newsletter. I realize that something did happen, no more Cody's workshop. Being on a fixed income I can't justify the extra expense of video plus, I guess I'm put off by the turn of events. I still love what you do, it just seems sad to need to pay more to see what you have.

Great article, gave me a whole new way of looking at track planning. Thanks Steve for your insight into how a plan can be broken into pieces and then recombined and adapted to fit a different space. A type of re-mapping !
