Standards
Club modules are built to the N-Trak standard. Effectively, the modules are tables which are clamped together forming large N scale model train layouts at conventions, shopping malls, and other suitable locations.
The basic dimensions are:
| width : | 2 feet | |
| length : | 4 feet | |
| height : | 40 inches |
Module legs are fitted with adjustment bolts to allow adjustment to match floor conditions.
Modules may also be built in 2', 6', 8' lengths, and some members have built matched modules with custom rail connections at the inner faces.
The Vancouver Traingang uses the optional Mountain Line version of the N-Trak specifications to provide a 4th running line, and more scope for bridges and other scenic variations.
Wireless walk around throttles provide members with great freedom to follow their trains around the layout.
The club does not use DCC on the layout at this time.
