Capitol City NTrak held its first “work day”
on Sunday, 26 June 2005. Jeff and Jim got together to work on one of the club’s
new corner modules. (After this early posting we've opted to use
the photo
section of the CCN Yahoo Group)

This is a 4-foot corner module, with standard Red-,
Yellow- and Blue Lines (triple-track main) on both edges. There is a turnout on
the Blue Line with the diverging route leading to the alternate blue location,
so this module can connect standard NTRAK to standard NTRAK or N2k.
The benchwork is 3/8-inch plywood on 1×3 framing. Cork
roadbed was laid directly on the plywood with Liquid Nails adhesive. The tracks
are Atlas code 80, and all track is soldered. The track was originally secured
to the roadbed with undiluted white glue, but the white glue didn't like the
winter weather so it has been replaced with Liquid Nails. Ballast will be added
later to help keep the track in place. (We would have done all the trackwork,
but we ran out of flextrack!)
