Re: Tin Plate Tracker Manual

["Steve Wise" <swise@aoot.com>]

Hey Jim,

 

Our club has a specification of our straight and corner modules, but it's not ready for prime time.  I can, however, point you at the HiRailers Unlimited site (www.hirailers.com), which has straight and corner module specs that should work fine for what you want to do.  Check out: http://www.hirailers.com/technical.htm for their specs.

 

I also found another spec from the National Capital Trackers site (http://www.trainweb.org/NationalCapitalTrackers/) which I believe was the basis for our standard except that we added more mainlines (we have mainlines that are 4.25" apart center-to-center, and this spec calls for mainlines to be 8.5" apart).  See: http://home.earthlink.net/~mcjackson/TTManual.htm for this spec.

 

I've CCed our members (ttat-members@aoot.com) so that they can contribute any additional information that might help ya'll out!

Good Luck!

Subject: Tin Plate Tracker Manual

Hello    Found your web page..looking  to start a modular group within the membership of the Nebraska-Iowa rail roaders club.We are primairily o-gaugers but have  members in all gauges. Met with Ross Tremblay  and his son  to view a layout they built   when in California. We would like join forces in Omaha to build a portable unit to take to malls and other places to promote Model Railroading as suggested in the late edition of Classic Toy Trains. Many   members are older  and need information on  what standards to use in making compatable units. We would appreciate  information as how to aquire the Tin Plate Trackers Manual or any other sources. Thank You
