Continuing the process of building an N scale (1:160) T-Trak modular layout, host David Popp turns to adding a bit of scenery. In this instance, he shares techniques for shaping up a vehicle roadway. This can be a bit messy, so it makes perfect sense to tackle the effort before any detailed scenery work gets […]
Host David Popp departs from the On30 layout construction to tackle something he’s never done before. In the railroad town of Sand Creek, David works to build, paint, and install proper horses and horse drawn wagons that folks use to haul goods to and fro. Saddle up for the ride through the entire process…and Trains.com […]

Modelers David Popp, Brian Schmidt, and Bryson Sleppy install the wiring power bus and Digital Command Control system on their modular T-TRAK N scale layout. T-TRAK is a modular N scale railroading system that uses foot-wide boxes plugged together to build tabletop layouts. In this fourth installment, the trio demonstrates how to build a portable […]
In this all-new series, host David Popp keeps progress on the N scale (1:160) T-Trak modular layout moving forward. Here, he shares various techniques for working within the specified electrical standards and recommended practices to bring power the rails, including the unique bridge sections of track and turnouts (track switches) too! […]
The all-new T-Trak modular N scale (1:160) layout construction series continues with Host David Popp demonstrating how to add trackwork to the assembled laser-cut micro-plywood frame. In this episode, David covers Kato Unitrack basics; how add track to a “double module”, including turnouts; and install track feeder wires. […]
In this all-new instructional video series, Host David Popp explores T-Trak, a modular system for building tabletop layouts for model railroads. Whether you’re a seasoned model railroader or a beginner, T-Trak offers a portable and space-efficient solution. The modules are typically in N scale (1:160), and David demonstrates the assembly of a kit from RSA […]

T-TRAK Project part 1: Back in the game again: Modelers David Popp, Brian Schmidt, and Bryson Sleppy begin a series of projects build a small modular T-TRAK N scale layout. T-TRAK is a modular N scale railroading system that uses small foot-wide boxes to build tabletop layouts. They are designed to click together using Kato […]
In this session, Host David Popp promises to finish the work on the passenger car project! That includes paying careful attention to those tiny details on the passenger car and the layout itself…you know, all of the little things he’d notice if he did not take the time to complete them now, including the addition […]
