A tried and true method. Bore some holes in the ends and grab some wingnuts... The pro-tip is that whatever you use you'll want to use something that's quick and easy... you can travel lighter if you can finger bang it all...

Do I need gloves in Altoona to touch those models?   :trollface:

I am looking forward to viewing these T-Track modules in Altoona. Looking forward to seeing everyone in a week and a couple of days.

With the above discussion, you might want the latex for your own protection :D

Good decision. That’s been one of my pet peeves for years and is one of the things that soured me on most modular standards.


there is no standard, in T-TRAK (all capitalized, with a hyphen) that dictates how a layout must be designed. Very often we connect our modules in a continuous line (similar to an "around the wall" home layout, and use balloon loops at the end. CMR products actually produces 'wedge' shaped modules to allow module setups to flow in various shapes, very similar to Free-moN module layouts.

Far too many T-TRAK folks fall into this 'back-to-back' on one table 'racetrack' type of setup.

Thanks, Bruce.  That's good to know!

For Altoona, I'll be going in a straight line for now...  it's my first T-Trak participation, so I don't want to ruffle any feathers... plus my wedge isn't anywhere near completed yet!

But I'll work out the details so next time I'm included in a set up, I can bring some extra depth to the geometry!

One thing to consider is the angle produces an offset that may not be compatible with the length standards required for the modules place 90 degrees to yours around the corner.

My plan is to customize the offsets so they equal the linear dimension of another double...

Well, we had a successful run at N Scale Weekend, I'd say.


I had to change the batteries a few times, but otherwise the modules looked good and didn't cause any problems.  The least you can ask from any of your offspring.

I also had fun shopping the vendor tables, and came away with some incredible bargains... at least if you like buying old junkets as much as I do...

I picked up an old Atlas Santa Fe style caboose, and just now finished bobbing it...


I built this to work the local with this old tub...



I also snagged a classic Arnold GG1, in pretty good shape despite lacking a box, and I have installed an LED to improve the view...

I'd agree! :)  The module and all of its detail is quite nice but... that station!!!  Outstanding! 8)

It was a pleasure meeting you, Lee. :)

Damn Lee, I didn't know that station lights up!!!  I would have waited until you replaced the battery to take the shot with my camera.  Well, next year!  :)

Thanks, Mike.
I have to finish adding the lighting to the bridge module, too.  All in a day's work!
