While most of us think of TTrak in terms of standard “one foot” (sort of) or “one box” and “two foot” (sort of) or “two box long” modules, there is no reason you can’t make your module(s) longer or any length you like to support a home layout or an operating scheme you want.? As long as the ends conform to the standard, and your length is a multiple, any multiple, of a standard one box module, if you want to display at a train show or convention with a TTrak Group.?
(The “odd” lengths and widths are because TTrak is historically based on the A4 paper format, which is the metric equivalent of our letter sized paper.? It is also based on lengths of Kato UniTrack, which is also metric.)?
A few years ago I saw an amazing TTrak module in the model contest room at an NMRA Northeast Regional Convention.
Here is a link to the owner’s webpage on the Little Rhody Division site:
Justin Maguire, MMR, had a TTrak module based on an East Providence RI prototype that was about 4 or 5 feet long.? I was admiring his amazing diorama and finally noticed the Kato UniTrak connectors sticking out of the ends.?
I certainly lack his skills, but it made me think about different possibilities with TTrak.? Consider it thinking outside the A4 sheet of paper.
