Durham Area Model Train Runners Consortium
Durham Bull
We are a Durham, Eno River Basin North Carolina
T-TRAK Style Modular N & HO Scale Model Railroad Cebal.
(T-TRAK stands for Table Top Modules)
We are Veterans and encourage other Veterans to join us in enjoying & promoting modular model railroading as a community service and as an aid for PTSD.
We don't collect members like friends on Facebook like the other clubs do.
They act like its a badge of honor to have lots of members.
Instead we prefer to be a small close-knit group of friends that just like
"Having Fun Running Trains"...
"Less Members = More time on the tracks"
Membership
You might receive an invite to join us from a member or request one by asking below.
Both cases are temporary memberships to see if you are a good fit.
If you are a good fit you will be asked to join us officially, if not you will still be a valued friend.
Our Core ...We Are Not a Club.
There are No Meetings, No By-laws. No Agendias,
No Dues, No Bank Accounts,
No Officer's, No Elections, No Clicks,
No Show guidelines, No Equipment Checklists,
No Rule committees, No Standards committees,
No By-Law committees.
CO2 is Not a greenhouse gas and Man-made Global Warming isn't Real.
The Only rule of conduct is the "Golden Rule".
In fact we are immune from the dreaded
"Canadian Pinky-Ring Bureaucratic Syndrome"
or the "CPRBS"
that has infected three other local clubs in the area...
This Insidious Disease Blocks having FUN! with
layers and layers of Bureaucratic BS.
And in the early 1900's it was known as "Philip Dru Disorder".
BEWARE !!!
It is currently working on infecting
an East Coast Partnership and
a National Organization.
DAMTRC's Public Displays
are designed for Longer Trains
&
less damage from little fingers...
We call it FJW
1) By using a Single row of T-TRAK Style Modules
in the middle of 30 inch wide folding tables.
2) The Club Layouts terminates into two Custom Lollipop Modules
Designed by
Thet connect the main lins Red to Yellow and
Yellow to Red respectively at each end.
Making the entire layout a continuous loop.
3) Our N scale layout uses larger 16 inch Corners instead of the standard 12 inch ones.
Designed by
"T-TRAK by Denniston"
All our N scale corners use the New KATO Double Superelevated Unitrack.
4) We are a 100% DCC Only Powered Club.
Using Digitrax Systems
DCS240+ Advanced Command Station
&
LNWI Wireless Interfaces.
5) Typical Layout Configurations of Straight, L and U shapes are
possible in lengths that can be as small as 10 feet or as long as 75 feet.
We can even set-up our layout agonist a wall! or dog leg around a corner.
Lets see other club layouts do that...
6) Our Custom N Scale Yard is 18' feet long with only
two staging spurs that are over 2 inches of track separation.
Making for easy setup without toppling over yours or someone else's train.
