Overdue Project Update

As far as I can tell, it's been about 18 months since I posted about a trolley-interurban-light rail style micro project I've been working on. At the time, I was just scoping out the possibilties for mounting Kato Compact Line N scale track with 4-5/8" radius on standard T-TRAK modules. My post just had some curves temporarily set up on books and corrugated cardboard sheets and connected to a standard T-TRAK module.

Since then the project has grown:

The layout as it stands is set up on two standard double-wide T-TRAK modules that can be separated in the center. Either can be connected to other standard T-TRAK modules at one end, or one or more standard T-TRAK modules can be added to the center. Provision is made for the left hand module to serve as part of a reverse loop if needed.

The basic ground cover is JTT scenic mats. I got the trees in bulk, I think from Hobby Lobby. I still have more to add. The interurban shelter at left is Milwaukee Elecric prototype from Depots by John. The LRT style platform is from Kato. More buildings and scenery are to come.
