Northeast Oklahoma N-Scalers
All Club modules are built to N-Trak standards with the following exceptions and
additional considerations
1. No mountain line.
2. All turnouts on the red, yellow and blue lines should be PECO long radius, with
the through line going down the straight leg rather than down the diverging leg.
3. All tracks must be in gauge and should be code 80 where the joiner tracks
connect.
4. Since we like to run long trains, tight curves are to be avoided. Where there
are curves, the longer the radius, the better.
5. All modules must have scenery completed, i.e. no bare plywood or foam
showing prior to exhibition.
6. Main line track height must be adjustable from 39'' to 41".
7. Sky boards should rise 12" from datum (the top of the module surface before
roadbed and track) and be painted flat Main Line Blue (Wal-Mart #3155.) The
club has cloud stencils available.
8. The module front fascia board should be painted semi-gloss Industrial Brown
(Wal-Mart #96144.)
9. A ¼" thick Plexiglas shield should be attached along the front fascia board,
extending 4¼" above datum. This serves two purposes, to discourage little
fingers from reaching in and touching things and to protect rolling stock from a
potentially fatal fall if a derailment occurs.
10. Homosote plugs (½" x ½" x 2") should be inserted into the fascia board at
least every 2' so skirting can be pinned on easily. The horizontal centerline for
the plugs is 3¼" below datum.
