The T-TRAK layout at Amherst 2023.
The layout was an "E" shaped 32' x 32' layout and had four separate loops (lines) consisting of three branch inner lines and one main line. 119 individual modules with participants from CT, NH, NY, NJ, OH, and MA all combined to form a layout with a 4.8 scale mile run around the Red Line.
Branch 1 inner line, as shown on the drawing, was DC powered for non DCC locomotives. All other loops were running DCC. Branch 2 had a promotion and clinic area at the end of the loop.
Kato and Woodland Scenics generously donated some great prizes for the T-TRAK module contests. Northeast T-TRAK also sponsored a continuous Make a Tree and Take a Tree clinic for the public with tree material donated by Woodland Scenics. In addition, there was a small T-TRAK layout at the Kato Show booth. T-TRAK participants were assigned 1-1/2 hours shifts at the Kato show booth to operate the T-TRAK layout while promoting T-TRAK. Kato USA also sponsored a free train set drawing for youngsters 16 and younger.
