T-Trak In Sacramento

[freescopesdad]

I'm curious if there are others like myself in Sacramento interested in T-Trak. I've found virtually nothing so far, one club that professes some interest but charges a fortune to join. There is a bay area FB group but only one member appears to actually reside in California. I'm hoping to start something up in advance of the NSE convention in Sacramento next June.

I know Sacramento is Free-moN country. On FB there are T-Trak groups I'd reach out there. I know even in the bay area not much T-Trak out here if any at all.

That is exactly what I have found out Nick, kind of a vast wasteland out here for T-Trak. Yes the Free-moN group is really strong and well organized and puts on a terrific layout at the local train shows, still there ought to be room for a dozen or so T-Trak advocates to develop a layout of our own. Maybe by next summer. I'll try a flyer at the local train store if they will allow it.

Asking about the thought process if I may -- if there is a solid Free-MoN presence, then what is the appeal of T-Track?   Is it because the modules are easier to build (unitrack, no legs, ....?)   I suppose a Free-MoN module could be built with Unitrack, if someone really wanted to [1];  tho I am not sure if that saves all that much time/effort.

[1] yes i know the standard calls for Code 55 flextrack or handlaid track; otoh i don't see a technical reason why UT would not work, if it were cut square/flush to the endplates.
