No, Mark Dance is not my cousin. But he has a great layout piece in the new Model Railroad Planning 2022.
Congratulations, Mark. As always, your layout, and your engineering and design of it, are inspiring and impressive!

My shameless boast is that there is a large feature in this MRP on my cousin John's C&O/NYC prototype HO scale layout in there. And family or not, this is one excellent layout. I have visited it in person, and the article really does an excellent job of explaining his logical planning, prototyping, design, and building processes, in addition to showing how beautiful a layout it is.

So there's my "ad campaign" for the year. LOL! These are great layouts. Really enjoyed reading about them.
