Oops

Yep, I'd guess either Charlie or Joe goofed and copied the blurb for the Cinicinati Northern layout to the Mod-u-Trak one.

Either way, the Mod-U-Trak layout it worth taking a look at!

Oops is right...

The culcprit would be me.  I dunno how I managed to mess that up.  The mod-u-trak layout is indeed N-scale. And what a layout it is!  I've fixed the blurb on the 2010 National Train Show page.

Sigh.

Iwata-Media interview correction needed

You forgot the "t" in Leslie Eaton's name.  Also for those who have complained that the NMRA is for HO scalers only, Leslie is an MMR who models in N-scale, and has been giving clinics at NMRA conferences for years.
