Autumn at the Temple
by Curt LeVan
My second ttrak module needed to have a transition down from the raised
ground of my first module. I also wanted to use a recently purchased
Tomytec temple, so I decided to model a small slope and then some flat
ground for the temple. Finally, to add further interest I thought would
try to add a mountain backdrop. |

by Paul Ingraham, Coordinator, AsiaNRail
Modeling an Asian layout without rice paddies would be like representing New York City without skyscrapers. More than any other feature, rice paddies say "Asia" like no other kind of scenery. See how Paul Igraham of AsiaNRails in California has produced soem stunning rice paddy scenes with very simple parts. |

After more than 10 years away from the hobby I decided to contract out the
hard work of building a medium-size N scale layout for my basement.
Unfortunately, this meant that I had nearly a year to wait for the basics
of the layout to be completed and I wanted something to work on now.
Fortunately, I was introduced to TTRAK. |

While this is a huge engine and car yard along with local and shinkansen stations, it has many interesting possibilities for layouts. Doug Coster has provided a simplified track plan based on the prototype track plan.
