Re: Wooden Art Boards/Canvas for Modules


 

Howard,

I¡¯m here in the Washington DC area and we have our little Japanese model train club of usually about a dozen members. We have a few active Ttrak groups in the area as well in Baltimore and northern va, so lots of Ttrak in the area.

Wow, that¡¯s one of the biggest continuous scenes I¡¯ve heard of! I¡¯ve seen one end loops like 6-8 feet long that are continuous, but nothing that long, but I usually don¡¯t make it to big annual shows.

Sorry to hear of the health issues, never fun to have to give up a hobby like that. Maybe focus into just doing small hyper detailed modules for fun. You big shot sounds like it¡¯s a lot to transport and deal with. Finding a good home is hard. We had one member move back overseas a long time back and he luckily was able to sell his excellent loop of about 10 modules to another club member. He actually returned a few years later for two years and built 4 corners and two doubles and sold them to the club at the cost of all the materials/buildings and that was the start of a club owned loop we can take to all shows and just add to with what ever shows up and not the tedious and nerve wracking will we have 4 corner actually show up!

I have a couple of ideas for some longer scenes I want to try. One member has a design set up for a peninsula single track loop off the outside line that would be a spirited away anime theme big scene. We also prototyped out a very deep module for a valley scene that would hang between two tables.

Cheers

Jeff

Where is your location. I am 20 miles East of San Antonio, Texas.

I like what you are saying. I have a Circus layout, having a six foot module Carnival plus a six inch continuation on the adjoining modules, on either side. My Circus parade includes around 10 feet of City scene behind the parade. I have thousands of people in the display. With my yard, I have 22¡¯ total display, plus the end cap, which is still under construction. At shows, I used to put temporary buildings on the end cap.

When the display was only 9 feet, I won best in show at the US National Train Show.

I also have about 20 feet of modules with each having its own theme.

Regretfully, because of health reasons, I have put my entire collection up for sale. The first person who I talked to. He asked me almost a year if I was interested in selling. He is a great Ttracker and goes to lots of shows. Everyone loves his hi there how you doing good have you gotten any offers yet too good anything with considerate good well I fell again yesterday I fell today and I got an a I¡¯m not getting enough Italian give me all my dear daughter whatever it was supposed to say granddaughter in law
