RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted July 13, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Being a registered guest to the NMRA Convention in Salt Lake City this year, we get early entrance to the Trainshow on the Friday at 09.00 before the General public are allowed in at midday. Apart from various manufacturers stands including a small Hornby one us a healthy trade to purchase models decoders and the like , there are some very large modular set ups. I would say not do many as previous Trainshows that we have attended before but the N scale modular setup is apparently the largest in the world and its certainly the largest we have seen. The standards of each module vary but generally most were very with a few incomplete ones. I will post batches on here then the HO module that we liked. Not many individual layous so it is a bit different to UK shows. Edited July 13, 2019 by roundhouse 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickBrad Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 That last picture is excellent, not many people would take on the task on modelling a mine under the baseboard like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell1976 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I got to meet Joe Fugate(publisher and editor) of Model Railroad Hobbyist magazine. Here are some pictures of Fugate's modular switching layout. The mainline is only about 15 feet(4.572 meters) long. Wendell Idaho, USA 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell1976 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Here are some pictures of a miniature TT scale switching layout in a guitar case. This layout is about 36 inches(91.44 centimeters) long and about 18 inches(45.72 centimeters) at its widest point. The person that created this layout is originally from Romania but has lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for about 20 years. This is the only small switching layout that I saw at the show!

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted July 16, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2019 Thanks Wendell I suspect most ‘small layouts’ there were modules incorporated into the bigger ones. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul, very true especially with the T-Track modules. I am not a fan of the Timesaver layout, but I am surprised that I didn't see any of those kind of layouts at this show.
