"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

Folks who have been following my posts here on the OGR Forum may not know that I have modeled in other scales.  In the 1980s and early '90s I modeled in N scale.  After attending an N scale show in Altoona, Pennsylvania this past September, I was intrigued by the N scale T-Trak layouts on display.  I had seen them the last couple years at the Monroeville Greenberg shows, but passed them by without much notice.  When I attended the November 3rd show, I spent a good bit of time looking and asking questions of the Iron City N Scale group.  I had already joined their Facebook group, so I had an idea of what was going on.  Having more physical struggles with my O gauge Blackwater Canyon Line layout than I had expected when I planned and started construction, the small T-Trak modules setting on banquet tables caught my eye.  Easy to move, setup, and build, I thought I would give it a try.  There is another show in Sharon, Pennsylvania this coming weekend.  I bought a couple module kits to build the "benchwork" and said I would at least get the track and some basic scenery going so I could participate.

Here are a couple photographs of the module I will take to Sharon.  The buildings had been salvaged from my last N scale layout I disposed of when we moved back to Butler, Penna from West Virginia in 1996.  I have a station kit for the empty spot trackside and think I have room for one more house beside the two story.  The township road department just tar and chipped the road, so you can see they went a bit wild and will have to clean up what landed in the grass after the "tar" dries.

Mark,

That is awesome.  Look forward to seeing the progress.  I modeled in N scale starting the late 80's in college through about the mid 90's.  I still have all my trains and track, but I think I stopped about the time N scale was really starting to blossom in quality.  Getting together with modules for meets and having a different layout every time sounds like a lot of fun.
