We had a big Show in the area at the weekend: "World's Greatest Hobby on Tour" visited Fort Worth. We(the Tex-N club) played host to an approx. 100 x 100ft N-Trak layout. This included most of our modules, and lots of guest modules from a number of clubs across Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. I think the final count was over 140 modules and an outer route of 23 scale miles.
It took about 30mins to complete one loop, and I calculated it to be approximated 1/7th of a mile for the trains...
Anyway, here is a very small handful of pictures. I shall add some more. We had Sugarland visiting from Fort Bend. This has been has been featured in Model Railroader. I'll add those later. Also when I get a copy of the plan that is suitable for uploading, I shall. It was big
