Q. What is NTRAK?
This is a national organization devoted to modular railroading in N
scale. They publish a set of standards for modules which can be
connected to each other. Clubs can use this standard to allow members
to build modules at home and then connect all of them into a large
layout during meetings. There are similar organizations in the other
scales but none of them seem to have the same widespread acceptance.
