I built a new model railroad module over the christmas break. It’s in N scale, and follows the T-Trak standard. The landscape and tunnel are vaguely inspired by what I saw in a (fairly boring) TV series about the Alaska Railroads a few years back. For the pictures, I’m using a Canadian Pacific SD90MAC (by Kato), because my Alaska Railroads SD70M isn’t here at the moment. Yes, I did forget to put the number plates in. You can also see the Athearn (or was it Atlas?) articulated triple-deck auto carrier, which I use to evaluate tunnel clearance.
Here’s some overviews over the entire thing:
Ignore the trees in autumn colours, they belong to other modules (not all of which are finished yet), and the section of track I put at the end is just so I have more freedom positioning things for the photos.
Overall, I’m really happy with how this turned out. I’ll write some more about how I built this in detail, but that requires more images, so I’ll do that as a reblog.
