Top photo = left transition module; center photo = Harker's Gulch; bottom photo = right transition module
The two transition modules provide a transition from the normal NTRAK 3-track main lines to the alternate branch configuration, and can be used anywhere in the layout as long as all modules between them and the Harker's Gulch module also have the alternate branch track.
Harker's Gulch was damaged during transport in 2004, and has been dismantled. |
