GENERAL Module iNFORMATION

All NEONS modules (with very few exceptions), whether owned by the club or by individual club members, must meet certain club guidelines before they can be included in a NEONS layout. These guidelines clarify and expand the guidelines published by N-Trak. Our guidelines are designed to foster continuity in the layout and include standards for skirting, fascia paint color, skyboard height and color, ballast color, track geometry, etc. (Link to Construction Specs and Diagrams – Modules)

Our many modules allow us to assemble a fairly large loop, usually 150’ – 200’+ around (4.5 – 6 scale miles). This length gives us the opportunity to run long trains of 100 cars or more. To insure the smooth running of these trains, we take our track work seriously and will not include modules that jeopardize trouble-free operation of those long trains.

In addition, we have a goal of trying to model scenes that depict actual Oklahoma vistas and landmarks. As you peruse the pages describing our modules, you may see one or more icons on the pages as follows:

The Oklahoma State Flag indicates that the module depicts a real Oklahoma landmark or prototypical Oklahoma scene. Nineteen of our modules meet this criterion.

The Route 66 sign indicates that the module depicts a scene along the historic Mother Road. Currently five of our modules display this emblem.

The NEONS herald indicates that the module is owned by the club.

This herald indicates the module is owned by a TNT member. NEONS members who build, own and maintain their own N-Trak modules are almost always also members of TNT (Tulsa N-Trak), a separate, sister organization to NEONS.

Various Railroad heralds will show up when the module represents tracks or scenes pertaining to that specific railroad.
