Look Ma! I’m in Model Railroader!

09/17/202409/18/2024 Ed Kapuscinski

The 2024 Altoona N Scale Weekend was a blast. I very much appreciate the way that the FreemoN gang will let randos come play too (provided they play by the rules). So I took full advantage of that and the combined TTRAK layout to grab some fun photos of my recent V&O 603 build.

My TTRAK Modules

08/21/202403/24/2025 Ed Kapuscinski

TTRAK Module Showcase

06/10/202406/10/2024 Ed Kapuscinski

A recent Reddit thread made me realize I should share some photos of some of the high quality TTRAK modules that I’ve seen (and a few that I’ve built that might measure up).

JFRTM on the Philadelphia Belt Line with YPFJ-41
