On30 Coalition Module St@nd@rds (OCMODS)

Just before the Yahoo Groups shut down all of the On30 Conspiracy and related groups that were owned by Bobber Gibbs, I was informed by the list owner that the OCMODS were no longer endorsed by the On30 Conspiracy... :cry: :cry: :cry:

So, they are now the On30 Coalition Module St@nd@rds (OCMODS)

S-Gauge module notes with some general Info as well

Hi All:
This link is to our club's "Module Guidelines": http://www.trainweb.org/acsg/SPECS/page1.html

They are the same as the Baltimore Area American Flyer Club's standards.

This is a link to a bunch of "lessons learned" stuff that a friend and i have compiled about building modules, running accessories, etc. http://www.trainweb.org/acsg/SPECS/Modular.html

Hope the info is helpful to some.

Regard'S',
Ted

Wow, the internet is a wonderful thing. I had been planning a couple of modules using the European FREMO standards but was not entirely happy with them . I've been given a lot to think about and it's now back to the drawing board.

Thanks guys - another year's delay in building it:cry:

Just thought I'd let you all know that I've added these links to my link page. :thumb:

Clark,

Can you post a link to your web page?

Andrew

 

[Pitchwife]

No problem Andrew. It is Links Page . I am in the process of redesigning it so that it will be a little easier to navigate, but it will stay up and updated until I get everything ready for the renovation.

Hi All:

Wanted to share another HO modular club site with y'all. This link will take you to their module building tutorial. There are other links you can follow to see some of their layouts, etc. Just saw them in November in Raleigh, think the layout was about 30 by 60, very complex.

Enjoy,
