T-Trak at the Nanaimo train show

Apr
26

The annual model railway show in Nanaimo, BC, took place on Sunday the 13th April 2025, and a few members traveled there from the mainland.

Among the layouts on display was a modest T-Trak layout being being developed by local modellers. It included single, double and quad straight modules as well as 2 corners and an end cap module. Various construction methods and ideas were evident, showing the versatility of the T-Trak modular standard.

The end of an era...

Feb
20

The end of an era, or maybe two eras... The Vancouver TraiNgang most recently had Ntrak modules with the optional mountain division. But, before that, the club had for several years, modules without the mountain division, or elevated track.

Over the past week, the storage locker was cleared, equipment being removed for reuse, and modules salvaged of usable electrical components, structures, figures, and whatever else could reasonably be removed before they were unceremoniously scrapped.

2025 AGM Bombshell!

Jan
28

At the January 2025 club AGM, it was decided to move to a different module format to help overcome logistical issues.

An animated discussion ensued with strong support from those present. The choice of new system is being finalised, giving members who could not get to the meeting a chance to voice their opinions, and a final decision will be announced soon.

In the interim, all shows are suspended, and the N-trak modules are to be sold or scrapped.
