A & P ‘N’-gineers

Coastal Train

WHO WE ARE:

A club devoted to increasing the knowledge, modeling talents, skills and pleasure of its members in N-scale model railroading.

WHAT WE DO:

Several times each year we display portions of the entire operating railroad at hobby shows, shopping malls, rail fan meets and schools. While designed for large public display layouts, the modules can be used for home layouts or dioramas.

WHAT YOU’LL SEE:

Single and multi-engine freight trains of 20 to 30+ cars and high speed passenger consists, both steam and diesel, are common sights along the main line. Several varied “roads” are operated, and you might see a “Pennsy” passenger train overtake and pass a Union Pacific “Big Boy” with coal drag in tow, or a modern diesel peddler dropping off its freight cars at town sidings.

WHAT WE USE:

Our layout is a “T-Trak” modular standard, where modules measure about 14 inches deep and approximately 1, 2, 3 and 4 feet long. The T-Trak standard is an excellent entry into the hobby of model railroading. It is low cost and very portable.
