Module Concept

  1. Expandable in all directions.
  2. All modules are fully portable.
  3. All modules are relatively equal in size.
  4. Large radius curves
  5. Realistic operation with prototype length trains. Constructed from readily available materials and quickly assembled for operational display purposes. Two continuous loops that will allow the normal two loop operation or a more elaborate switching operation.
  6. Designed for:
    • Individual home layouts where mobility is a factor.
    • Club members to gather together to set up a temporary layout.
    • Regional meets where large spaces are available.
  7. Provide a basic foundation for all modelers, regardless of skill, to display their likes and talents.
  8. Flexibility to change with new innovations and developments.

Drawings will be continuously revised and updated to reflect changes.

Radically new designs must be discussed with the Standards Committee.
