The members decided that the best way to promote the hobby, was a modular layout. In order to recognize individual members modeling talents, the club decided to allow individual members to model what they want, or highlight their special interests in their modules.
Members design, build and own all of the straight sections in the modules and the club owns
the 2 ends sections comprised of 3 modules each , a gate and a 4 foot module to
offset the gate . This limits our display to 11 feet wide. The display can be
any length we want based on available space and mampower.
In a matter of a few hours the members of our club can unpack and put
together a layout with 2 main lines and a branch allowing for 3 trains to run at
the same time.
Several years ago, we updated our standards to limit building of
new modules to 6 feet and build them as a pair to make a scene that is 12
feet long. We also try and limit module with to 30 inches allowing for some
wider exceptions.
With LED technology becoming more available, we have upgraded our modules
to include lighting be it buildings, street lights or vehicles. It has
certainly brought life to the various scenes.
