HO-Scale Layout History The Division's HO-scale layout is our largest and longest-running. We currently have four outside corners, a lift-bridge for easy access, and 6-foot modules owned and maintained by members. If we were to set up all the Division's modules at once, it would create an area of around 25 by 34 feet Modules are paid for, designed and constructed by individual members. Other than the framework and the track positions on either end (which are determined by Division standards), the layout of each section is left to the discretion and skill level of the individual. Some members have modeled industries, some "slice o' life" scenes, 
and others have taken on a switching yard for train staging. HO-Scale Committee Chairman Claude Lundquist

N-Scale Modular Layout History We currently have four module committee members. Modules are paid for, designed and constructed by individual members. Other than the framework and the track positions on either end (which are determined by N-Trak standards), the layout of each section is left to the discretion and skill level of the individual. Currently, the base cost of an N-Trak module is about $50 for a straight, and $100 for a corner. This does not include scenery or buildings. Why N-Scale? N scale by definition is 1:160 Scale. That means for every 160 inches of REAL things would equate to one inch in N scale. One N Scale mile equals 33 feet. Ten N scale feet equal ¾ of an inch. N scale is the second smallest scale in popular model railroading. Only Z scale is smaller. Going the other way next comes HO, S, O, and G Scale of the most common modeling scales. |
