Ok, Alan, since I was in a rush when I posted "Page One" p ) here it goes.

p ) here it goes.1) If you feel like contributing to the 'Trainz Community N-Trak Module' then PM me.
2) You can find the 'Module Base Board' on the DLS, I'm forgetting right now, but it should be reletivley easy to find with a few simple search words.
3) Your 'Personal Module' can be based on anything, Ocean side (beach), city, desert, feild, (Also going into regions) Japan, America, Europe, Asia, China, Africa...well anything
4) We will have to find '1 Track Type' to agree on, I personaly think it should be 'Built In' track', to make it easier for others who don't feel like going to some site and downloading 1 track type.
5) Try to have fun with it...

I'd like to contribute to the layout! 
I could make modules of famous rail spots and a few other random spots. As for track I think it should either be the MP lo-poly track or the AJS track. Both look real and can be used with the AJS junction kit.

Started off ok but people deviated from some of the textures. If you do a search on the dls type module in the description under layouts and should find plenty.

you can incorperate mine somehow(not on the DLS though)....of course it requires track from VMD....
But it has about 4 lines coming from one, 8-track terminal.

We had one of these a long time ago. It was called Trainz Link. It had two tracks instead of the three tracks that N-Track uses. I made a bunch of starter boards for anyone who wanted to make a layout based on this concept. There are a bunch of layouts on the DLS based on TrainzLink.

I did a couple of small 'modular' single-board switching routes a while back, but never proposed a 'group' thing. There WAS a group thing kicked off about the same time if memory serves (like Dave I'm gettin' too old
), but I think it fell by the wayside. Not that it's a bad idea, just hard to organise......Andy

I'm still here honest :wave: Have a look for my U-Make modules on the DLS and i'm sure someone still has the builders guide that I did at the same time.
It does sound like a great idea to begin with, but just wait until you see how many different elements you need to control so everything will match up. Good luck

The module idea is quite an old one now.
All my routes are module of various lengths ( boards ) & only use mp track.I still follow a few of the original basic requirements ( standards )though mainly.
1. Track ends to be placed in the centre of the end boards for easy connection to other modules.
2. All track connection points & board edges at these points to be set a zero ( 0) for board merging.
What goes in between doesn't really matter as long as the ends of modules can join without major problems in track alignment or terrain height changes .
