By now I expect that many people in the hobby have heard of the record setting T-Trak layout at Kansas City. According to the layout's Facebook account, there were 340 modules of varied sizes, the equivalent of 732 single T-Trak modules. The mainline run was 28.4 scale miles.

A nice little HO scale modular layout -

This was one of the really big layouts at the National Train Show this year (the T-Trak, N-Trak, and Free-moN being the others). Three clubs had signs there, Missouri Valley Free-mo, OK Free-mo, and Southern Kansas Free-mo. I expect there were additional participants as well. I believe I heard there were 63 modules involved.

Here are the posts (so far) that I have published on the 2018 National Train Show. Several more layouts to come, including the record setting T-Trak layout.

It is 2018, and here I am in Kansas City, Missouri. The 2018 National Train Show will be held in the Kansas city Convention Center (Halls A, B, and C)  

This is an event that takes a lot of set up, and some of the vendors and modular layouts have been working at set up since yesterday ...

Some of you might remember me drooling over the pre-production Genesis GP39-2 models that Athearn announced and had on display at the 2015 NTS in Portland, OR. Three of the first run were decorated for Portland & Western, the prototype railroad I model (with modifications....).

I was pretty much
