We are excited to hold our 2nd Annual T-TRAK Module Contest, to raise funds for the Pennsylvania SPCA in honor of Mike Phillips, the founder of the Altoona N-Scale Weekend. If you have any questions related to the contest, please contact Kevin Squire ( gro.kaikiw|eriuqsk#gro.kaikiw|eriuqsk ).
Special thank you to Esther's Hobby Shop (in Millvale PA), Baldylox Designs and Klawndyke's for providing prizes so that 100% of the donations can go to the SPCA!
This year, we raised $338.00 for the SPCA in honor of Mike! Thank you everyone who participated and everyone who donated.
First place went to Rider K, our youngest member!! He did a great job with his first ever module, and was just a joy to have at the table. We can't wait to have him join us at our next event!
Event Layout
This year we were provided a little larger space by the organizers. So our layout was arranged in a "half and half" setup. We had the "Contest Side" and then the "Regular Side". We had a total of 20 people signed up to participate in the layout (14 of those were participating in the contest). We actually had to turn away people and modules (Sent them over to the big "combined layout" )
- 47 straight modules
- 4 corner modules
- 2 T-Junctions
- 70 SMU (Single Module Equivalents)
- 14 contestants, and 20 total layout participants
