Whether it's HOTrak, Ntrak, TTTrak, Bendtrack, freemo, domino, or whatever, let's get things started in the Modular Forum with a list of resources for those who build, or want to build, their empires 4 feet at a time.

NMRA Module standards & recommended practices - http://www.nmra.org/standards/consist.html#module

Free-mo.org - http://www.free-mo.org/

Ottawa, ON modular club - www.hotrak.ca

Railway Bob's "How-to" on modular construction - http://www.railwaybob.com/Modules/MRIndex.htm

Please post others that you have found useful.

Welcome to Modular Railroading!

Just before the Yahoo Groups shut down all of the On30 Conspiracy and related groups that were owned by Bobber Gibbs, I was informed by the list owner that the OCMODS were no longer endorsed by the On30 Conspiracy...

So, they are now the On30 Coalition Module St@nd@rds (OCMODS)

The Gateway NMRA site has a good article that ranges from the creation of standards through construction, lessons learned and so on.

Hi All:
This link is to our club's "Module Guidelines": http://www.trainweb.org/acsg/SPECS/page1.html

They are the same as the Baltimore Area American Flyer Club's standards.

This is a link to a bunch of "lessons learned" stuff that a friend and i have compiled about building modules, running accessories, etc. http://www.trainweb.org/acsg/SPECS/Modular.html

Hope the info is helpful to some.

Regard'S',
Ted

Wow, the internet is a wonderful thing. I had been planning a couple of modules using the European FREMO standards but was not entirely happy with them . I've been given a lot to think about and it's now back to the drawing board.

Thanks guys
