I hope you have made a full recovery from the congestive heart failure.
You can search the site and find the column. I tried finding that article for you with no luck. What year would you think it would be. I currently have most of 2009. I let a friend have the rest that I didn't need anymore and he lost them in a house fire.
Good luck, and again welcome.

I had been away from the MR website and missed several issues of MR while recuperating from congestive heart failure. Upon returning I noticed that there is an N scale layout being featured in the step by step column. I am intruiged by this layout as I am an n scaler and the layout seems to be based on the Southern Railway spartenburg subdivision which is not far from where I live. Is there any information to be found on this layout being built by Steve Ott? Is there a track plan somewhere? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
