Painting will be a problem as the photograph is black and white. I assume the railings and roadway are concrete and will be painted accordingly, the steel "I" beams and towers I can only guess that they are grey in color. Any help would be appreciated here, this is California in the late...

The pink foam is not the module but the heights he supplied for the overpass construction and is for my reference only. The actual overpass is twice the length, but we had to limit the size of the module. The overpass will start at the edge of the module and cross over the red/blu/yel lines...

My brother wants to do a prototypical NTrak module of this scene and I volunteered to make the overpass with styrene. So far so good, the only problem is I am making it to dimensions he supplied from his partially completed module. He is in Canada and I am in Connecticut and using a mock up of...

Here is a picture my Dad took back in the fifties of the Highway 58 overpass just a little west of Woodford, CA.

Zedob it sure is open to the public. Meet cost is $25 and it starts at 8 AM Friday. Wished I had room to post all the clinics they have scheduled for the two days, some real good ones. Several I'm looking forward to are "Making Plastic Structures Look Great", "Modeling Military Freight Car...

Just wondering if anyone else is going to the Northeast Prototype Meet in Collinsville, CT tomorrow and Saturday. Great schedule of clinics this year and great displays of prototype modeling.

Hi Pat, Yes I remember meeting you but could not tie the screen name to a face and I have lost my little index card with screen names from the old gauge chat room. The modules are in storage and I cannot readily get a picture of the mechanism. Basically a "NC" reed switch is mounted on the...

Belg, I did wire in a magnet/reed switch to a relay that opens the outside rails on all the three lines. (red/Yel/blu) Continuity on the modules either side of the bridge will be broken when the gate is open. Depending on the length of the module, normally four foot, this gives the train...

Here are some pictures of the walk-thru-module I constructed and posted some time back. My club, the Valley NTrak of CT, has now used it sucessfully for our last four shows.

A 58 car autorack consist sure does shrink the layout visually.

The Valley NTrak Club of Connecticut did a show today. We put together a very large 36 x 26 waterwing type layout using two "T" shaped modules. The show was a fund raiser for Crew 33 of the Boy Scouts in Shelton CT. There was a lot of diversity in each members modules, but all were built to...

This scratchbuilt model was built by a good friend of mine.

This coming Sunday, April 2nd, Jonathan Law High School is having their 8th Annual Train show. Our Valley NTrak club will be participating this year with a 26 by 28 foot modular layout. Anyone coming through Connecticut on I-95 Sunday should drop in. High School is less than a mile from exit...

Sorry - I give up trying, sumtins wrong

none of my pictures are uploading ?

Valley NTrak participated in the Cheshire, CT. train show with a 22 by 30 ft layout. Very active day, we met many interested and interesting people. Our 16 foot setup yard was very busy all day. We had the younger viewers counting well past fifty as freight cars passed them.

Gate in open position. (Sorry picture too large to upload)

I finished up the walk thru gate module in time for our first show. Finishing touches were some scenery to the two tower tops. The buildings are held in place with magnets and are easily removed when breaking it down for transporting. Everything gets stored neatly inside the towers. I did...

Have not forgotten you fellows, been busier that a one armed paper hanger in a wind storm. Wanted to finish up the walk through gate module for our club and we have two shows on back to back weekends. The fellow is still interested and I just have to get over and take some pictures. The walk...
