A new version of this blog has been in the works for the past few weeks, and it will hopefully be available soon. I'm not sure how much disruption there will be during the transition period, so please be patient. I will also inform you that once the blog is moved to the new server, the need to sign in will be eliminated. The sign-in was only there to combat the ongoing spam issue. Take care, Rob.

For anyone wanting to see my new layout designs, please join my Facebook group. We have a lot of talented track planners and professional railroaders in the group. It's a great place to get some help and feedback on your next project.
Just a heads up. This blog is scheduled to move to a new server at the end of the year. I'm not sure how seamless that process will be or how long it will take my blog to be available to the public again. I will not be updating the site again until after the move is done. To stay informed during the transition, I suggest you join my JoMRD Facebook group. You can find a link to it on the menu bar. Thanks.

It took almost two months of on and off work for Rico to build the virtual layout. He also put together a 13-minute long promo video, that shows the layout very nicely. I was quite impressed with the details and effort Rico obviously put into the project. The video is available on YouTube.

COMMENTARY: Copyright Question and Fair Use
I was asked on my JoMRD Facebook group if it was considered an infringement of copyright or illegal to copy someone's designs from online without making changes to the track plan. For anyone with that same question, I will provide this reply. All the track plans posted to my blog are here for others to use as a starting point to...

Pizza? It comes in a lot of different styles ... fits a lot of different tastes ... but we all have to make a choice when ordering one ... green peppers? Anchovies?? Extra cheese??? Thick crust????
