Title: Tuesday August 4 - Do your civic duty
Post by: NEMMRRC on August 04, 2026, 06:56:32 AM
Howdy!

Do your civic duty today.

I have lots of photos from the 2026 NMRA National Train Show. Most are of the N Scale T-Trak world record setting modular layout. Makes one wish N Scale was bigger in size  ;D

Here is a sample of what I saw there. I'm hoping to post more as I have time to process them. I have been away from all this for so long the software I used to use to process my photos is no longer available for my laptop.

Later.

Good morning Jaime and everyone else checking in later.
Thanks for the pictures from the show and would you consider starting a thread for all your pictures?

I will do a separate thread once I have all the photos organized in a cohesive fashion. T-Trak modeling is a hodge podge of varied topics so the whole layout was like a giant quilt of small modules  ;D

A sunny day today after yesterday's (much needed) rain.  I don't think we got anywhere near the 4.4" they said we got, but it was still a good soaking rain.  

Back to the coal dock today, I should be able to finish that if I knuckle down (and the drill for NBW castings doesn't run out of juice...)

Morning all. Headed to Waltham Mass. (Again) to bring my mother to see the Dr.,.Hopefully they'll see her this time and not give us the story that they called and canceled the appointment. Spent yesterday working on another boat. Another hour and it will be heading to paint.

Morning all,

Headed to a humid 86 today, possible rain this afternoon into tomorrow.  

Finally finished the background kit after 3 months.  My parts to get the turnout working arrived so that will be fixed today.  My next step is to work on landforms for the layout.

Sun and warm today.  Helped the Doll with a couple tasks yesterday and ran the decal shop between. 

Today, ??
