If you're talking about MR Video Plus, the answer is no. All those videos are now on Trains.com, for which you have to pay a lot more than MRVP.

If you're talking about YouTube videos for Gerry Leone, I'd be surprised if he posts anything about his new layout there. I used to thoroughly enjoy watching his monthly Bona Vista layout updates, but since he's doing a (paid) layout build series on Trains.com, there's nothing new on his YouTube channel. Last video posted there was about his last layout tear down, in September 2019.

If you just want to watch trains run, go to Youtube and search Elkhart Model Railroad Club. There are a couple of hundred videos of club members running trains.

I'm still paying the same as I did with Video Plus - IIRC $2.25/month.

Note that's just for the videos, not the entire trains.com offering.

To be honest, I don't know how I'm doing this as I cannot seem to find the video subscription info in my account. I only see the Unlimited Digital trial that I cancelled. (I could never access the archives and all customer support could ever tell me is to clear my cache - it never worked.)

Maybe previous Video Plus subscribers got grandfathered in?

EDIT: You know, it occurred to me that perhaps I'm not getting all the videos that are available. Most of the ones I see seem to be kind of old.

My MRVP account still works, but I do not see anything new.

I still have tons of content and lots of layout tours remaining to watch.

As far as I can tell, the only knock against trains.com is if you still have to have a print copy of the magazines.  I converted to digital seven years ago and had digital subscriptions to MR, Trains, and Classic Trains plus the monthly Video Plus.  

Now with a simple annual subscription to trains.com I get all of the above plus archives for all the magazines.  I just ignore the Toy Train and Garden Railroad stuff.  Trains.com had a rough rollout, but I have no complaints now.  Much better than a competitor video service which I subscribe to, but seriously considering dropping.  Trains.com so much better IMHO.

The bigger question is: for someone like me that doesn't have interest in the other magazines (Live in a condo, so no garden railroad possible, never collected toy trains, and I'm outta time already - wasting way too much of it reading the internet for hobby stuff, I don't want to get started on videos of trains in operation).

But, I can't find the recent videos of the Canadian rockies layout David built. And there are several good parts in there I reference for my fledgling layout.

I'm at the dump MR Video plus all together, and just go back to YouTube phase. Yeah, it's only an extra $5/mo... but it's like there's too much there that I'll never hobby if I start paying the extra
