Great job! A victory for us kids!!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this article! Was a bit stunned to realize a high schooler had written it. You guys would do well to keep Nathan writing for MR.
Nathan has designed a marvelous trackplan here, with opportunities for both railfan-style running and challenging switching. It manages space efficiently and ensures that operating crews will have a good time. A very impressive article and plan!
