CLINIC: Mack & Myre for Hire: If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice
DAY: Sunday	TIME: 8:00-9:00a	ROOM: Berwyn
DESCRIPTION: This is a "lessons learned" clinic. As I continue to build the railroad, I come across issues caused by lack of initial planning, or too shallow an understanding of the subject matter, or just laziness. I hope to point out some of these using railroad plan comparisons, photos and stories of woe. All together, it is a story of evolving skills and knowledge and also of changing wants and needs. Hopefully, others will have an opportunity to avoid the same pitfalls. Since it has been a few years since the railroad has been presented, this will also give attendees a glimpse of the current work.
