Both N-TRAK and T-TRAK standards are used in SHR N-TRAK layouts. SHR N-TRAK uses the N-TRAK mountain (green) line version of the N-TRAK module standard. Our members have even devised an alternate method of attaching N-TRAK module legs to simplify the assembly of a module at a public exhibit. Members participating in our T-TRAK layouts are using the wider alternate track spacing in order to run models representing the larger American prototype equipment. Visit the N-TRAK and T-TRAK web sites for details about module specifications.
N-TRAK and T-TRAK modules are small enough for transport in ordinary passenger cars. Participation in a modular railroading club makes it possible to run trains on an impressive size layout that's just not possible in many homes and apartments.
