A Brief Note About NNJ-Ntrak....Northern New Jersey N-Trak is a non-profit incorporated organization formed in 1988 by eleven N scalers for the purposes of (1) stimulating interest and providing education in both model railroading and full size railroading, (2) promoting N-scale, (3) providing an organization where members can learn needed skill from fellow members, (4) setting up N-Trak layouts at train shows and other public event(s) (and running model trains on these layouts).
NNJN-Trak uses the same N-Trak standards that are used by over 2000 N-scale hobbyists in the U.S. and other countries. These standards were established in 1973 to allow N-scale hobbyists to make modules that can be joined together to form large layouts. The world record as of the Edison 2000 NTrak Northeast show, approximately 66 scale miles.
NNJN-Trak usually does at least four public displays a year. We meet weekly to conduct organizational business, work on modules,run trains on the modular layout we have set up, and talk and exchange ideas about shows and hobby tips. Members also have access to our growing library of videos, magazines, and other N-Trak organization's newsletters.
Members are not required to build a module; only to have an interest in the hobby and a willingness to particpate with the organization. All skills are welcome and needed to keep our organization operating smoothly.
Annual dues are $120.00 for general members. Junior and Associate memberships are also available for $60.00 per year. An organizational newsletter is sent out quarterly.
