T-Trak's Neil Berrington will make a presentation about model railroad module design at WMRC's April meeting

In a very short time Manitoba T-Trak has become one of our most popular attractions at the WMRC’s open houses, and we are pleased to announce that they will be displaying again this year at our next show on April 18 and 19 at the Charleswood Legion. 

As a special preview to this event, T-Trak’s Neil Berrington will make a presentation about the principles of model railroad module design at our next meeting on April 10.  Neil will discuss types of layouts such as fixed, transportable, portable, communal modular and highly portable, and types of modular layouts including Free-mo and T-Trak. He will also show how he designs and produces modules with CorelDRAW and modern technology.  Neil will also display some T-Trak modules. 

The fun starts at 7:30 PM on Friday, April 10 in the Tank Room at the Charleswood Legion, 6003 Roblin Boulevard. The canteen will be open and we’ll have our usual model and photo displays.
