That was my thought as well...it looks like an easy enough build to do without the kit... But, price the kit right then provide tack and scenery kits as add-ons... hell even a train set... As a father of young children, if it was priced right it's a perfect entry into the hobby.
Good ideas, in my opinion.... But I would like to believe a perfect way to enter this hobby, regardless of age.
T-TRAK has been getting LOTS of recognition... Model Railroader magazine.... Ken Patterson's "What's neat in Model Railroading" (skip to the 43:25 minute mark) A T-TRAK layout, once again, will be present at the NSE Convention in Chicago this July.
Bruce, that must be you being interviewed in the first video. Am I right? That or you've got a twin. Ken does a interesting job. Just not...well.... I'll reserve my comments. He promotes the hobby and that can't be all bad.
My N Scale club, NNJ-N-TRAK & Northeastern T-Trak(Fay Chin) myself included, were running the T-Trak display at the Kato booth in Springfield.
I was there too on day 1, running my little Arnold B&M SW1 and trying to help out! I have a couple ideas percolating in my head for TTrak modules and the Kato kit looks interesting. I'm hoping they will have a double available.
They are not doing doubles... look to these T-TRAK module kit manufacturers for kits other than singles and small corners" http://www.masterpiecemodules.com/ https://www.cmrproducts.com/
Do you know what CMR charges for shipping a double? Master Piece is like 40% of the cost (under $100 I think) which is fine since they are bulky products.
