Hi All, We have a great group assembled here! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/S-Mod We are 26 people in 5 days and growing daily! We are making new S-Mod Modules and possibly refurbishing others.
Don DeWitt is back in the family at least for making S-Mod Modules. That makes me VERY happy. He wants to WOW the 2009 NMRA convention with a wave of NEW S-Mod DCC modules like back in the day in Pittsburgh with branches and spurs, and like the other NMRA conventions as well. Don's current project is updating the S-Mod standards to include DCC, and then get them approved by the NASG BOD. They have not been revised since Don wrote them in the late 1980s. A dust off is due here. If you want to assist Don, joining the S-Mod group would be the best place to start. Most of the skills needed to making a module apply to layout building too. Maybe you will not have the room for an S layout for a while, or never will have a layout. Modules will get your hands busy improving your building skills, and give you your own piece of the R O W that you can run on if you come to a meet or convention. The complete commitment is small compared to making a whole layout. My new modules will probably be part of my future layout at least for a while. We are admittedly concentrated from Virginia to southern New York, with the core being Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware to New York. You can still play along though. I am putting the plywood deck on my 4) new 6' long frames today. These may be the first new modules made in a while. A new yard will be born but without those pesky switch machines that rarely work well in a module show setting. It will have yard leads and mainlines that bypass the yard. I will run it past the track plan judges before starting. Join us! We are on a roll!
