Wolv33 - "Cassette" was Iain Rice's term -- I was a little relictant to use it, it seems to cause a thread to degenerate into silly-land (see the thread I referenced, for example). Anyway, what it is is just a section onto which you can run some cars, or a whole train, or whatever, and then remove it from the layout. And then maybe plug in a different cassette with different cars on it. It's a good way to represent the rest of the world. The Iain Rice book I got the idea from is Small, Smart and Practical Track Plans, from Kalmbach.
