The Bantrak TTrak division sets up TTrak layouts at most but not necessarily all club shows. Other shows can be arranged , if planned and coordinated at least 2 months in advance, and if the club can provide enough participation to meet show requirements. Joining with another club in a show is also possible.
TTrak is a good way to get started in NRail railroading. A TTrak module is lower cost, easily stored and transported. The TTrak division has fewer requirements regarding aesthetics and style then our NTrak division or FremoN division. If you always wanted to create a snow scene, a waterfront scene, a dinosaur quarry, UFO abduction, fantasy scenes or Thomas scenes all would be acceptable as long as they do not contain offensive scenes or language. Remember that many family's enjoy the TTrak experience as participants and as viewers.
As well as fantasy modeling , TTrak can and does provide a platform for realistic railroad modeling and this is encouraged. Industries and sidings for operations are encouraged and with the right participation at a show an industrial switching district can be created. Industries, car floats etc could also be created but would require access from a standard compliant TTrak module with the industry or car float as a side branch off the layout.
Bantrak T-TRAK setups can provide a red line under DCC and a yellow line under DC or vice versa. Alternately both red and yellow can be configured as both DCC or DC. Selection can be changed during an operating session depending upon equipment availability, as well as the needs of the member who is signed up for the run slot.
The TTrak division utilizes the following club property which is stored in the club trailer:Since this equipment is stored in the trailer it is generally only available for club shows. At this time, tables for the TTrak setup are provided through the show organizers.
Many of our current members participate in 2 or 3 of the Bantrak divisions. We encouage new members to do so as well.
