I knew John even as a young child.  The North Raleigh N Trak group always were kind to me, including John.

I have to admit that I had no idea Nrail is what Ntrak turned into. I haven’t been keeping up.

But now I’m even more confused that almost all the photos in their main page slide show are from our Modutrak layout.

Huh?

As an early N-TRAK member (#978 back when the logo still showed N-TRAK) I'm not too happy with what NTRAK has morphed into.  NRail seems to strive to gather multiple modular standards under the NRail organization's umbrella.
