T-TRAK

T-TRAK is the newest of N-Scale modular standards, coming to the US in 2001.  Modules are built in units of 310mm (approx one-foot) and each module can be it's very own scene.  A common double track mainline runs the width of the module, using Kato UniTrack for the end connections.  Modules are designed to sit on a table, making them very easy to store and transport.  

The relatively small size, and simple standards makes T-TRAK modules very attractive for the new modeler.   Experience modelers also find T-TRAK's smaller size beneficial. The experienced modeler can use a T-TRAK module to practice new techniques, create scenes that don't fit in with their other modeling, or just find a way "out of the basement".  

What are T-TRAK Modules?

T-TRAK modules are a standardized system of "blocks" - and each block (or module) can be decorated however you like.  It is the prefect venue to let your imagination run wild!

The T-TRAK modules utilize Kato's UNITRACK connectors, allowing each module to  "snap" together without difficult.  This makes it simple to build of extensive scenic layouts from a variety of building blocks, one block (module) at a time!

While the T-TRAK standard allows for many kinds of modules, most can be grouped into 3 categories:

  • Straight Modules, which are built in units of 310mm widths.  These are the most common of modules.
  • Corner Modules, which allow the track to turn.  These are usually 90-degree or 180-degree turns.
  • Junction Modules, which combine both straight  and curved track.  These allow for more complex designs beyond your standard oval shape.
