The image below is for a G-Scale modular layout that
Alex Binder has been working on.
He presented more information about it at our
meeting on April 9, 2016
The Exterior Hi-Rail
Module Layout is a modular train layout intended
for exhibiting both "O" and "G" gauge model
trains outdoors. Each module is approximately
the size of a banquet table and when assembled
completes a system of bidirectional or
"mainline" running. Individual modules track can
be customized in any number of configurations to
suit the club or hobbyists needs. Overall size
of each layout ranges from 5'-0" x 2'-10" to
over 20'-0" x 60'-0". Materials used in
construction of the modules enable them to
operate in all weather conditions. Each module
is designed to accommodate a live load in excess
of the heaviest locomotives and rolling stock
available. The track is dual gauge and can be
used by both live steam and traditional track
power users. All materials and labor are sourced
from within the United States of America.
