    We ran into a few issues with our setup locations and metal tips on our legs. A few of our locations have fancy wood flooring and they don't like anything metal that might scratch the finish. We have a whole box of those plastic cups you put under furniture legs to protect the floors .........MAJOR headache when setting up. I like the furniture pads on the ends of the dowel legs.......but it doesn't help when all your legs have eyebolts on the end.

    So I acquired the transition module set from my club’s modular layout we call the Legacy layout to the modified N-Trak I call 2 Rail N-Trak. There are 4 modules that go together in a set and they will take a one track line and diverge into 2 which is what my set up is all about. They need some repairs and modifications to be what I want, but they were well built and will do a good job for what I want. I didn’t get a picture of the full set… I thought I did, but the pictures are in order.

    Here is the module that will link the 2 Rail side of things. I need to remove the switch and extend the tracks to the end of the module.

    Next in line. This is where the fun starts. The north most switch goes to the switching puzzles up on the upper level and the southern switch is just a storage or team track.

    Here is the rest of the one above. it’s a 90 degree curved module. The turnouts and crossovers can be used to link other modules to these as well.

    Next up is a module that fell over a few months ago in the wind. It took some damage, but it’s repairable.

    Coming to the end of the road so to speak, the main line comes

    And since I’m limited to 10 pictures only, we end the show here with the end of the module set. This is where the set will interface with the Legacy or any other single track input such as one trak or an N-Trak branchline.

    That is not a problem. WE use a wood "coaster" under our legs for any floors that could be marred by the eyebolts. Since the eyebolts do not turn the "coasters" don't turn either. The coasters are made from 1 x4 pieces of wood and measure 4x4x3/4"
