Ideas for the new corners
I have drawn up a design in AutoCAD showing an idea for the track
plan. It is posted in the files section. This will also give everyone
an idea of what can be done with layout design if everyones

Re: corner modules
Mark,
I think that that is a great idea. It would also demonstrate to the
public that T-Trak is designed to "just sit on top of a table" rather
than require any special legs or capentry or what have

Re: corner modules
Maybe a fifth cirner module would be called for.
I don't remember the exact configuration, but I think that Mike LaCasse
has brought a two piece junction. 1 piece was the corner and the
second piece

Re: corner modules
Maybe we could develop some sort of leg extensions for a "banquet" table sothat a standard folding table could be raised to the necessary height andleveled?

Re: corner modules
The junction modules would have the orange line break away not he red,
so this would still allow the four track main.
Geoff if a base was made for the t-trak modules to sit on instead a
banquet table

Re: corner modules
I like the idea of the option of bend track but if it is going to
cause a 'standards' issue I would like to see more info on the
subject. A quick check on the Bend Track site shows a straight
junction

supplies for mods
Brain H. has offered to pick up track and wiring for the corner mods.
Thanks Brain. We still need to hear from the group on making the
corner mods capable of being transition corners. Thanks

Doug,
I'll get the track & wire. I picked up five pieces of flex track and cork roadbed at J.P.'s today, and have some speaker wire. Just to confirm how much I'll need to buy, are we making two

Corner modules
Hi,
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. John and I drove out to Syracuse
to the train show and had a great day. We were able to check out a
few 3 foot corners other clubs had at the show. We also

Re: Corner module construction
With the mountian division there is a possability of running DCC with out interfering with the blue, yellow, red and orange.
Just food for thought.

New corners
Hi, all.
As for new corners, I feel the four main lines are a "must have". The mountain division would be a nice addition, as there are a couple of members who would want it and it would give us the

Re: Corner module construction
I like the orange, red, yellow and blue for the fact that we can have
a small double dog bone layout if the end loops are avelable like we
had in Fishkill.
Is the mountian division being considered?

Corner module construction
Doug and I are discussing a schedule to construct the modules. We
should start getting an idea of what else is needed to construct the
modules beside lumber and members should start getting together
