T-Trak arch bridge modules
|
Geoff Dunn
We have a bunch of money in our account. We don't have to spend it. But I'm curious how the membership feels about purchasing one of these:
https://www.cmrproducts.com/store/N-Scale-T-TRAK-Module-Lackawanna-Arch-Bridge-Double-p180656019 or http://www.redrivermodels.com/t-store/t-bridge.html We are sometimes space-constrained, but a 2X module like one of these would be nice when we have lots of space. Personally, I like the second one because the arches are larger, but it's more expensive. Thoughts from the membership? Geoff

There is another company that will laser cut the club name in the side of a bridge I believe....

I like the second one myself. The T-Trak logo built in and it is a self contained module. I vote to spend the club money on one of these. Mike L.

Ok, some clarifications... We can have the club logo cut into either bridge, for $30. We don't have a club logo that we use, although I think Mike L. drew one up 25 years ago. If someone wants to design a club T-Trak logo, we can go that route. I like a advertising ourselves...
Rod, I hope we can safely get together soon, but only when the medical professionals agree! Geoff

One of the discussions we have had is about our club name, Albany-N-Trak. Should we consider altering our name to perhaps; Albany-N Scale, or Albany-T-Trak, Albany Modular N Scale, or something else which better identifies us now? Mike L.

Technically we do have a logo, but obviously you can always change it. A long time ago, there was a vote to use the NYC Cigar Band style logo with our club name and website url on it. The one attached with the brighter red background does appear on our website and was used on a display banner that used to hang at train shows. Doug also used it without the website address for our our first batch of long-sleeved maroon shirts. The logo attachment on the darker maroon background is from Landsend and appears on the later batches of long-sleeved and short sleeved (polo) shirts, as well as operators aprons, caps, boat totes (well really train gear totes), etc.
Hope everyone is well, "John Henry" Low

Thank you, John Henry. That's a "duh" moment for me.
As far as a name change - I'm comfortable with Albany N-Trak, even though we've branched out to TTrak (yes, the national group specifies a dash in one but not the other). But Mike's suggestions are good too. More input from the rest of you? Geoff

Michael Romanowski
What percentage of shows are Ntrak versus T TRAK? I think that would determine a name change or not.

While I am comfortable with the current group name, Mike does make a good
point as I believe I heard that the only NTrak show we do is the Poughkeepsie show and we seem to be moving more to a T-TRAK based group. So while there’s a historical tradition to the Albany N-Trak name I see little harm in making the change to reflect the evolution of the group’s activities. As for acquiring a bridge, I vote YES. I have noticed at shows that the various scenes attract a lot of attention from the public and the bridge would only draw more attention. We are in serious need of younger members (the current health issues have underscored that the group average age is hardly young). I believe that use of T-TRAK modules (and comparative ease to construct, transport and store them) will help attract new members. Be well and stay safe my friends.

Currently, the club does the following:
TTrak - PCC (March) TTrak - ALCo (April) N-Trak - Poughkeepsie (November) TTrak - PCC (November) TTrak - GTE (November) and TTrak - Glens Falls (dates vary). So one out of six shows annually uses N-Trak modules, or 17%. Geoff
