Narragansett Bay Railway & Navigation
January 25, 2009
We received this email from Andy Small confirming that he and Justin will be bringing their layout to our Convention.
Justin Maguire and myself are bringing a portion of our clubs Narragansett Bay Railway & Navigation. The NBR&N is an On30 modular RR built by members of the Little Rhody Division of the NMRA. It depicts a fictional narrow
gauge RR in south eastern New England in the 1930’s-40s. We run DCC and have lots of salt water and sand. We use a combination of Bend Track and Free-MO. NBR&N has displayed at the 22nd and 27th National Narrow Gauge Conventions and will be at the 2009 NMRA Convention in Hartford, CT. Our web site (we have not updated in quite some time) has some older photos http://nbrnmodule.tripod.com/
As for size? It depends on what I can cram into my van. We usually have a couple trailers plus what we throw in the back of our vehicles. Right now I’m building shelf units that will fit in the back of my Honda (3 levels complete). I’m sort of picturing an Apollo Command Module returning from the Moon as my inspiration. Anyhow, we’re currently at the Big E Trainshow at Springfield, Mass and we should pretty much have the size down in the next couple of weeks (still working on a new transition module). Because nothing is really straight and we have lots of bends, we can normally fit anywhere so we’ll send a couple of options. It’ll probably be between 9-10 modules plus end caps and will be a point-to-point. I’ll try and send some photos soon.
