mountain modules
Hi Folks!
? ? ?I am a member of FUNTRAK Model Railroad Club here in upstate New York. Our club is one of the few who have adopted the idea of a mountain line on some of our T-trak N modules. As such, we have adopted Peter Akers "standards" to use for our modules. I would like to discuss some of the ideas that we, collectively you and us, have incorporated into our modules and see how things are progressing. Currently we are developing an incline set of modules to go from the inner (yellow) line to the mountain (green) line and also working on a reverse loop to support this concept. Anyone else looking into? this? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks. ? ? ? ? Brian F. King |
Hi Brian, Great to hear from you. Doug McLean in Perth Western Australia here. Our club has dabbled in new ideas and would love to share them with you. In preparation for a Hobby Expo at a country area about 5 hour drive away. Give me time to include some photos also. Back soon.

Thanks for getting back to me Doug. I have an American friend who moved to Melbourne that I visit every couple of years. I think a drivwe to Western Australia might be a bit much but I'm glad to share things over the net. If you look on YouTube, FUNTRAK has a few videos from some of the shows we have attended. There are some pictures and videos there that show a few of our mountain modules. One of our more recent imnnovations are the Flip and Flop Wilson modules. This pair brings the red line behind the yellow line and back automatically by controlling the track power between the two modules. This is accomplished by RF communications and detectors in the trackwork. There is a video showing this on the web. Take a look if you get a chance and let me know what you think. What have you folks been up to? Let me know. Looking forward to hearing from you.
