FUNTRAK had a great setup at Dave’s Diner. Here a couple of videos for you to enjoy.

The FUNTRAK crew has been working on building some new corner modules complete with the mountain line for use at future shows. As seen in the images below the work has been progressing. To find out more about these modules be sure to have a look at the July 2011 issue of the newsletter as a special feature will be revealed.

Check out our latest acquisition! The FUNTRAK van will make getting to shows much easier, as the old club trailer that had been used in the past has seen better days. Looking for train-running, family fun? Keep an eye out for the FUNTRAK van!

If you see this van rockin .... it's 5 men trying to fit in one more module!

FUNTRAK held a meeting a the Family Fun Center in Mohawk, NY where trains were set up and run. Here are five linked videos for you to watch and see the action that took place.

FUNTRAK sponsored the Vallay Rail Sights Show in Ilion, NY at the Masonic Temple during the weekend of April 9-10. This was a very successful show with nice attendance from the public and the addition of a new member. We got some great photos and John Fleming also captured some video. Enjoy!

Built from a single piece of foam, the base cost just $1

FUNTRAK’s most recent T-Trak module is this foam based module constructed from a single sheet of three sixteenths foam board purchased at the dollar store. Details on its construction are available here. This module illustrates the point that realism can be achieved in the confined space allowed with such modules that are currently in vogue in T-Trak and inexpensively at that!

As a follow up to the foam modules listed in the news item below from December 30th, 2010 I’ve now attached a few additional images showing the cut out pattern of the foam board as well as the attachement of the adjustable feet. The final image from this set shows the track attached and the sides painted flat black. Now for scenery…

FUNTRAK’s newest module effort is this foam module fully constructed from one piece of 12 by 18 inch foam board 3/16 inch thick. This piece was purchased at the dollar store. Construction is very straightforward. Cut the pieces to the appropriate size, arrange them, and use low temp hot glue to glue them together. Remaining pieces to be added are the levelling legs at the corners, track, and scenery. More pictures to follow when the module is finished.
