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.
