John, Thanks for setting this up this Y! Group. Hi John and/or Geoff, May I suggest adding the following link to our links page? http://home.alltel.net/ah50902/index.htm That rather long url is the ho

I think that Ed's suggestion for the mountain division is an excellent one. I realize that we have mixed feelings about the mountain division, but since there are a few members using it (not me, at le

Doug, At Poughkeepsie and Kingston (and maybe other shows, we sometimes ran a "two track" branch line off one of Mike Lacasse's corner/junction modules. At the end of the "two track" branch line was a

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 w

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 h

Hi John and gang. I just uploaded a crude sketch of a corner with junction that Mike LaCasse had in some layouts with a branch line that ended in a double tracked Bend Track end loop. I think that it

John, Could you (or Doug) please post pictures of the stages of construction of these corner modules (and future stages as you progress). I think that it would be very interesting to see how the light

John, I just posted a Black & white N-Trak Logo to the files sectionm for you. I hope it isn't too small. At the risk of being obvious, al I did was go to the N-Trak web site, hover over the main logo

John, You won't be able to get it in time fot the meeting, but I have always had good luck ordering them through NTrak. They seem to have a good inventory. Good luck. John Henry we

Hi Doug, I am sorry I missed the meeting, but I would be happy to pitch and contribute. If you see me at Springfield (I plan to go on Sunday), please wave. I will have my checkbook with me. Regards, J

Hi John or whoever can add a member. Could you please invite David Toll into our Yahoo and N-Trak group? His email is tolld@... David is a relatively new member of the Hudson Valley Railroad

Hi John, I have a Bend Track end loop with operating turntable with 9 track roundhouse and the ladder of a 5 track outside yard. (Yard is not complete on this module.) I hope to have it back in commis

Mike, Thanks also for the kind offer, but I also have a long standing tradition of driving together with my friend Dave Townsend, who although he works in HO is my mentor in this hobby. BTW, Dave's Se

Hi Geoff (and gang), It looks like I will be pretty much out of pocket this season. I had hoped to make it to Kingston, but the constuction delays we had last year (and a few family things that were g

Wow Brian, that's impressive. I used to ride trains in Germany a long time ago. It brings back memories. How long are those beasts and how long are the sections that they break up into? Regards, "John

Hi guys, I agree with Geoff about keeping analog DC lines. While I certainly have studied DCC, and have designed my modules/layout to be upgradeable to DCC or even work in a hybrid DCC/DC mode (some b

Shirts are a good idea. We have used Land's End Business Outfitters for stuff for our business and for a personal thing as well. The nice thing about Land's End is that there are NO MINIMUMS. If you w

Sorry, that I can't make the meeting, or much else this past year, it seems, although it was nice to have an (all too brief) catch up at Columbia-Greene. Ed, Please, DO NOT RIP OUT the mountain divisi

Mark (and all), You are correct. The Poughkeepsie Train Show is that weekend: SUNDAY, November 9, 2009 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Poughkeepsie, NY Here is a link to the a

Woooooops! Geoff, you are (as almost always) correct. They are NOT following the Mayan calendar or whatever one it is that drops days. (or is it the end of the World on that one?) Poughkeepsie Train s
