T-TRAK – Session 2

This clinic has a $35.00 fee, which covers both the Friday and Saturday sessions at Southbridge. Materials will be provided as part of the $35 registration fee. It requires PRE REGISTERATION (See the Registration Form)
This clinic is a two part series, which will be presented at two conventions. Part 1 will be delivered in two sessions at the 2026 Eyes on the NER convention in Southbridge. Part 2 will be covered in Burlington in 2027.

This will be an excellent introduction to the world of T-TRAK. This hands-on clinic series walks you step-by-step through building your own module, while becoming part of something much bigger. Participants will construct a 12″
wide T-TRAK module and learn the standards that allow individual sections to connect seamlessly into a larger, operating railroad—one of the most appealing aspects of T-TRAK.

The program begins with two clinics in 2026. Session 1 introduces T-TRAK concepts, standards, and basic module construction. Session 2, held the following day, focuses on track laying and electrical considerations to get your module operational.
The project continues at the Green Mountain Express II in Burlington, Vermont, in April 2027, where two additional clinics will cover ballasting, backdrops, scenery, and the techniques that bring your module to life.

Whether you model in N scale or not, T-TRAK offers a unique opportunity to expand your skills, try something new, and collaborate with others—combining individual efforts into one cohesive railroad.
