0NeTRAK
oNeTRAK is an NTRAK compatible single-track branchline that can augment NTRAK layouts.
Main Goals
- Lightweight, simple to build modules, especially for beginners or those with limited transport capability.
- Provide an alternative to three track modules that can be connected to an NTRAK layout. Connected layouts encourage team building and enhance fun!
- Easy home layout integration
- Extend the NTRAK Red Line Route at shows
- Provide a branch line for more prototypical operations.
- Provide an easy way to model scenes with single track and tighter curves.
- Provides a section of the layout for serious switching operations when the rest of the layout is running lots of trains to hold the attention of spectators.
Integration
oNeTRAK modules can be used to build stand alone layouts with emphasis on operation or can be connected with an NTRAK layout using junction modules either to lengthen the “Red Line Route” as seen on the sketch below or to have a branch line with sparse traffic. As the module design should permit both uses, all relevant standards for a conventional NTRAK module must be met by any oNeTRAK module.
