Is this feasable at all? I’ve purchased the NTrak documentation and I’m reading through it last night.
I’m not good at woodworking, and don’t really want to be. I can probably swing the bench design of N Trak enough to build the basic modules, but the idea of cookie cuttering up the top of it to do scenery isn’t working for me. The Woodland Scenics subterranian system seems to be working better for my skills/hardware that I have.
However I’m looking at putting 2" risers under my track to let me do culverts, drainage ditches, etc around my main lines. However that means as near as I can tell my modules will need to be the riser shorter than the next one should the other modules I end up hooking too not use it.
Now granted I don’t think I’ll be doing any team effort Ntrak modules but I was looking to see if there was a standard for doing this, or if this is too new for anyone to have tried.
i think if you expect to use Ntrack module standard, you need to make sure it extend to all standard. otherwise nothing will match up and you wont be able to use it with other module. If you dont intend on running it with Ntrak stuff why bother? if im not mistaken the last 5 inches at both ends need to be level
I’ve seen some handle this by making their ‘module scene’ span over two or three modules. So now they have (for example) twelve feet (three 4 foot modules) to work with before the three mainlines return to the position they need to be at in order to hook up to other modules on either end. What happens in between is up to you, so long as you don’t do anything crazy with the mainlines.
The only drawback is that you would always need all the modules in order to hook into the overall layout. To use the example above, you would essentially have a 12 foot section that could not be broken up.
