Northeast Oklahoma N-Scalers
Module Name: Gateway
Designed By: NEONS Member - Minister of Construction, Steve "Sir Fig" N.
Overview:
In 2000 the club built a 4' gateway module with a flap that rises, thereby allowing easy access to the infield
area of the layout for those of us who have a little trouble crawling under modules.

When the gate is lifted, safety switches kill power to all tracks on the module and on the two adjacent
modules so that no train will accidentally fall into the void or slam into the vertical gate. Special bracing is
in place to counteract any torque or strain caused by mis-aligned or bumped modules. Track alignment is
assured by redundant mechanisms that force the gate to seat properly.
