I got my April issue today, and if I'm not mistaken, it is the last of the Red Oak series. Spoiler alert: no mention of operation. I was really looking forward to some description of how the funky staging would be used. I can pretty well guess based on the diagram, but was really hoping for some clever idea that isn't obvious. Still a neat layout, and turned out pretty nice. I like that it isn't crowded with track and that the scenes are deep.
My thoughts exactly. I opened it with one hope - a clear description of how that staging setup would work. It looked really odd to me and somewhat limiting. If I have one complaint about some of these MR layouts, it's that they present it in photos as one thing but operationally they can be another.
