In the final T-Trak Group Project video blog on MR Video Plus, Kent Johnson checks out the progress MR’s Cody Grivno is making on his much anticipated corner module. Kent also shares some insights on how his own British Columbia-inspired module is coming along. And surprise, SURPRISE! David Popp has a mystery module to reveal!
Mini Clinchfield is the command station in order for the T-Trak modules to work Mini Nagatuck, Gater Alley, and Elkins Park need to be plugged into it to work.
So that is who got the last module Old Hediger himself. He got these buildings and scenery from Gordy the late Editer of MR who built the first project railroad the N Scale Clinchfield Southern.
good work Kent and Cody a scrapyard and mountains good idea I thinks you took Drew up there in the Track Side Adventures episode Fraser Canyon.
Hey Guys, The T Track modules are a great idea. How about enlaging them to HO S and O respectively. That would expand the Idea 3 fold and maybe get more people involved with model railroading in a cost effective way. At my local hobby shop , where I volunteer , The cost of building a layout turns a lot of people off from the hobby. The cost of track,turnouts even a plain DC power pack has people running away. Even the price of used stuff raises eye brows. If there were a "National Standard " for a T Track in all scales there may be more impetus for club formation in the various scales and thus revitalize the hobby. Hard telling with out knowing . Just my thoughts to the people who have the power to affect change. Sincerely – Lee Schamberger Wynantskill NY
Excellent progress by Cody, Kent and David. Look forward to the completion of this project and I've been applying some of these techniques to my own layout. This has been a great series!

After watching this series, I feel like this approach has some real plusses. It's a low-risk way to try a new scale, it's a chance to try new scenery techniques, one could recycle unused structures, and it's a neat way to bring a club or group of friends together on a project.
It would be great if you could address the topic of expense per module. Which would cost the most vs. the least to build from scratch?
Love it when a plan comes together like this. Looking forward to seeing all the modules together with trains running. Cody, that wouldn't by chance be the A Team's van on your module now would it?
I was just wondering what depth size of Cellfoam 88 by Midwest Products that Cody used on his module? I want to do the same with making the ground flush to the edges of my n scale track in a refinery scene I am doing, and just want to order the right product.
Thanks!
I guess when you get this many creative people together and set them loose with a blank slate you will get an interesting array of modeling features and techniques, from the subtle to the dramatic and from the familiar to the unusual. Great series MRV. Thanks for taking us along.
