Next up we have 30ft of New Lisbon, WI. This set goes back to pre-Modutrak days and Bill Denton’s workshop. The Depot module and the Wye module were originally constructed as 6 foot Ntrak modules, 24” depth, triple track, 1.5” track spacing and all. As we were discussing improvements to the Ntrak concept, Bill extended the legs with PVC pipes to raise them to our 53” rail height. Mike and Marshall then built a 6 foot transition module, East New Lisbon, to transition to 18” wide module width, double track, and 1.25” spacing. As we moved to 5 foot standard module lengths later, we needed New Lisbon to be a multiple of five. So, two more 6 footers extended the yard and brought the scene to 30 feet.

Bill could do a whole thread on this set. But that’s an overview!
