Hi oNetrak members, I joined onetrak@yahoogroups.com about 2 months ago, and have uploaded piks to the photos page. We display our layout, at a few local train...
Hello John, Enjoyed your pics much, thanks. Do you setup at many shows? I'm with a group (Florida East Coast Railway Society) and a small part of it is a few...
As a new (after a 20 yr hiatus ) N scale modeler .Could someone send the specs for building a module. The new N scale are a sight better than my postage stamp...
Hello Kevin, The oNe-TRAK specs are a derivative of the N-Trak specs. You can find them in the files section of both Yahoo groups. If you have trouble, let me...
Moderator or Owner, Could the last post be deleted. I believe that a lot of us are weary of this type of post. Also, the address should not have been ...
Hello Tom, Yes, very interesting indeed..... Chantilly will be the first "N-Trak" convention I'll be attending. Hoping to get some good ideas. There is a small...
Hello Tom, I had only heard in passing about a "pit" of oNe-TRAK at the convention. Isn't it Steve S. doing the layout design,,, somewhere I think he posted a...
All, This has been a dream since I first saw the oNtrak. It can not be reality without help and a place to store it. At this time I will have to wait at...
I'm getting ready to build a six-footer and I'm just wondering if there are any other active Onetrackers (Unotrakers?) in the Houston area? Or am I going to...
I ultimately want my One-trak modules to be part of a permanent SP Siskiyou branch layout so I want to use ME code 55 track to maintain pizza-cutter...
Re: [onetrak] ME code 55 on a OT module?Thanks Bernard, So how do you deal with the end-of-module connections? Do you use a short stick of Atlas Snap-Track or...
Howdy from Dallas! In regards to the discussion about ME code 55, how does it rate up against the Atlas code 55 (looks-wise)? I understand the operability ...
Hi Adam, The ME track looks as good as the Atlas track but it's not as flexible. In other words, once you flex the ME track it tends to stay in that shape....
... Hey Adam (& everybody else), In my opinion, the Atlas track looks much better than the ME track. I don't have any info on operability, though. I merely...
Now if we can just find a viable solution to the turnouts... I've heard mixed reviews of the ME turnouts... and would prefer the Peco code 55s myself. Any...
Hi! ... There are two types of ME turnouts, one has a problem in construction that is easily detected. The points are held in place at the pivot with pressure...
From my experience stay away from the ME turnouts. I've had the solder joint on more than one point-rail break. And I've no idea how to solder it back on...
There's an article in the June 2004 issue of Model Railroader by David Popp called "Easy Ground Cover" suggesting ways to apply scenery to a layout. In the...
Hi Adam, I don't there is a right or wrong way to go at it. Which ever way gives you the results you're looking for is the "right" way. I generally lay track,...
Mike, Thanks for the input, but I guess I should have been a touch more specific. Trackwork has to go down first in my book, because it will be a lot easier to...
Adam, In my opinion...lay the ground cover before the ballast. The only down side to that maybe that some ballast might migrate where you don't want it before...
Hi everyone. As a new member of the group and someone who is in the planning stages of a module set, I was wondering if anybody in the group is near me. That...
... The sequence I usually follow is: 1. Lay roadbed and track including switch actuators. I like cookie cut plywood sub roadbed and cork roadbed. 2. Test,...
To see some of the neat possibilities with oNeTRAK modules please check Pete Matthews site listed below. He has done some nice work with oNeTRAK modules as a...
What is this all about? Where have the onetrakers gone again. I am one that can't wait to get started on this concept. I want to build my first modules of the...
... Tom, The convention committee told me a few weeks ago that very few oNeTRAK modules have signed up. If you want to bring your module, contact Matt Schaefer...
