----- Original Message ----- From: Jim K [raisinone] . . . . . If you want to build a 20' switching layout, it only needs to have compatible track interface at both ends, everything else for the intervening 20' is up to you. It simply becomes a single 20' long module. . . . . . . . . . . . > > > > > > > This is true. I'm familiar with several long multi-section modules. The sections always go to gether the same way, but the two ends of the assemblage meet the NASG standards. How the intermediate sections mate is of no concern, except to the owner, because they're not intended to be independant modules, only sections of one big module.
Bill Lane says "The biggest things are a 2" blank space of rail with ties on each end interfacing with other S Mod modules. . . ." Meaning rail ends 2 inches from the end of the module, but I've proposed in the current S-Mod revision process that this be changed to one inch. Consideration of this was postponed, but I intend to make my future modules that way, and just bring 3 inch bridge rails along.

I considered building to a module standard but the problem is making the ends compatible with the module standards and at the same time providing a reasonable layout geometry. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
