When all is done, I would love to see a schematic and plenty of pictures. This should be stunning to view. Wish I could be there!
That sounds awesome! Wish I lived a bit closer, I look forward to seeing the pictures from the event.

Congratulations!!! You've done it! This incredible, historical layout is now at capacity! Your response has been amazing and we KNOW that a great time will be had by all this August in Kansas City! While we are not closing down further participant applications, we are obliged to say that we may not be able to completely accommodate modules submitted after today- we'll have to address each situation individually. As in any event or function, there will probably be some last minute cancellations and attrition due to unforeseen issues affecting confirmed participants, so, please, if you are still interested in attending and participating in this historic layout, continue to monitor this page and/or contact us at layout@t-trak.org And we will do everything we can to try and include you in the event!
We are proud to add Micro-Trains to our official sponsor list! We are thankful to have their donation and support!
We are thrilled to announce that KATO's incredible support of T-TRAK continues!!! KATO has very generously help sponsor the 2018 NTS T-TRAK layout by covering the cost of the tables for the layout, making them our official table sponsor!!!
You should invite Eric Smith to build a module for inclusion in the layout. It could feature a model of the Micro-Trains headquarters building on it.
The layout is now full...in fact we're asking some folks to be on 'standby' if they're already attending the show. Personally, I've reduced my contribution from 23' of modules down to 2', in order to make room for more participants... Both, Kato, and Model Railroader Magazine will be contributing modules to this layout.
A huge shout out and Congratulations to Fay Chin! Fay and I are the principal planners of the annual T-TRAK layout at the annual NMRA National Train Shows! The latest copy of Model Railroader Magazine!
Great job by Fay! but don't forget the other people & clubs involved. Northern NJ N-Trak ,which I'm a member of, & in attendance.
