Corner module construction
|
john valachovic
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 to divvie up the labor or one person (not me) could get everything, either way we need to total up the complete costs and then figure out how much everyone needs to contribute. Also we need to reach a consensus on track configuration, I would assume everyone wants orange, red, yellow and blue. Do we want to include optional blue? I would assume we will continue to use cinch jones connectors or do we want to use power pole and make some power pole to cinch jones adapters? Also give some thought to the idea of scenery and structures. The cast resin buildings sold at the shows are nicely done, easily painted and affordable. |

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? I have power poles and will be converting my modules over to them. The firt conversons will be my reversable corners, adapters will be made from the cinch jones connectors removed. I have no opnion on the optional blue line. --- In AlbanyNTRAK@..., "albanymain" <albanymain@...> wrote:

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 least for now), by including the mountain division on club corners, that would permit having the mountain division at least stretch along a side or two at those shows where members like Ed, Geoff, Neil or Mike bring modules with the mountain divsion. If no one else brings mountain division modules, the corners with mounttain division would help break up scenes if nothing else. We should definitely stick to the "four track mainline" look of the stadard blue, yellow, red and orange, since we do use the double dog loop approach at least once or twice a year. I hope to be "back in the game" with a bend track end loop by Kingston 2007 or Poughkeepsie 2008. Regards, John Henry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

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. Ed
