As an HO scale modeler, I have always been curious about the T-Trak standard and its applications for HO scale. This style of kit, as it is, would be perfect for HO scale shelf layouts - 1' depth is something you see pretty commonly on some of the smaller HO shelf layouts, and this would be a great starting point even if you ended up extended it to a 18" depth where needed for industry.
Very cool. Just starting to work on a couple of modules for a club I want to join. This is a great idea, and cold maybe also support some hills or other backdrop materials. I'll do mine and hit them up and see if it's something that might fly.
How timely Jimmy. We just got together for our train club yesterday. I’m on a committee and we are going to present to the board or ideas for movable layouts. We were discussing ttrack design, so any club member can add his personal touch to the club…. We have an annual train show in December and we are planning ahead. Thanks for your input!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🚂🚂🚂🚂
Jimmy! You know what I was JUST thinking about a couple weeks ago? You never see tunnels in T-Trak modules. Like for train shows? You obviously want to be able to clean the track and GET your train out if something happens. It's also kind of strange to make a module, just to cover it with a mountain. Then you've only got the entrance and exit. You'd obviously want to make access to get to the track. What side do you put the access on? The back side? A door that opens? But what about the FRONT SIDE, so that when the kids come up to look at the train, they see the tunnel opening, they see the mountain on the outside, but the tunnel is cut open on the side like a cross section?! Then you can put stuff like dinosaur bones in the cross section part of it too. Maybe make it about 10" tall, above the track. Just a thought, and I'm not totally sure how you'd do it, or keep it in good condition if you're transporting to and from shows.
This is a clever idea. However, for an 8 ft shelf layout $240 seems expensive for just the bench work. On an arround the walls layout it will be a significant cost for bench work alone. {And there are no corner modules currently available.) IMHO such a concept primarily seems reasonable for someone living in an apartment.

Maybe you could make a mini series where you make a model railroad with these kits?

I’ve never seen it over here in England!! I wonder if I would buy one at some time!!
This O gauger always finds your channel inspirational. Thanks!

Can you stack 3? I suddenly want to build an O scale, HO scale, and N scale switching layout using those one on top of the other...lol
Yes they can be but if the front get to heavy I'd recommend adding a strap on the back.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Looks great I bet you can use those also for n scale 👍👍
This looks clever. I am too far advanced to change but this looks like a magic idea for people with limited space.
With the KATO announcement of hon30\ OO9 unitrack coming this summer I want give t track a try with the hon30
Very nice idea if you do T track. Thanks fort sharing.
Now we need a T-track helix :D
My thoughts exactly!
I'LL be working on one after I get thr inside and outside corners done. Just need to find time as a one man shop here.
@@richardshepard9392 Thank you sir, for what you’re doing for the hobby! A helix would be an incredibly positive addition for N scale!!

I like that they used your pic, coffee stain and all lol
What was the shelf you had in the background that looked like you were also gluing it together (saw the blue tape in the corner)
Good morning from New Orleans la 😊
It would be cool to use them for HO!
if you have a few of these o put together you'd probably want to get a frame clamp to hold it exactly square.
Ok now this is epic
Very cool 👍🏻

This would work for a small ho switching layout
maybe dumb question but....is there anything comparable to this in HO? Or will these work for HO as well? Tons of info. Thanks Jimmy.
Yes can be used for HO. I'm working on inside and out side corners now as I get the time.
What is this?. Lingo is heavy for a newbie to train modelling.
can that be used with ho scale
Very neat
Modules like that are known as coffin modules.
I need this in HO.
Hello
They don't HAVE to be T trak...
Looks like the inside of an airplane
