Urban OneTRAK Module Revisions

I wasn’t in love with the way the module had been working, with the large industry’s back almost always being facing the audience at shows, so I decided to rework it and make it more open. I replaced the one industry with a chemical company, and the other with a scrap yard.

Interchange OneTRAK Module

My other OneTRAK module is based on an interchange between a shortline and Conrail.

MOW Study

When working out some ideas for my shelf layout, I realized I wasn’t sure the best way to approach the railroad right of way. To answer my questions, I did a quick “study” piece to work them out.

Ken McCory’s Buffalo Line

I was in Philadelphia for a very sad occasion, but got the opportunity to attend one of Ken’s impressive op sessions. To say it was the highlight of my weekend is a vast understatement.

Besides being a great guy, Todd Treaster has built a great layout! Here are some pics from a trip I took there back in 2008.
