Rochester Institute of Technology's Model Railroad Club's

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Rochester Institute of Technology's Model Railroad Club expanded their annual winter Tiger Tracks Train Show into a two day event held on December 9th and 10th of 2006. This show was also expanded in size and moved to the Gordon Field House to accommodate the expansion. The Rochester Area S-Gaugers were invited to set up our modular layout for this event as we have for several years previous. Both club-owned and member-owned modules were set up in a 10 foot by 20 foot configuration. Modules are built to the NASG S-Mod standards. |

 This configuration of the yard side of the layout was first used at the Medley Centre exhibit on the Friday after Thanksgiving 2006. |
 The configuration of the accessory modules remains the same as before except that they are no longer connected to the turnout that lead to the yard modules. |

One of the reasons for setting up our modular layout at shows such as this is so that children may learn of the great heritage that they have received through the American railroads. Another reason is to share the fun that we have with model railroading. |
