Connecticut S Gaugers

For Scale, Hirail and American Flyer S Gauge Model Railroaders

Steve Kutash's Page

Steve Kutash's S scale model railroad occupies a large area of his basement at his home in Shelton, CT. Steve's layout, as seen from the pics below, is a fine example of a pike built according to the NASG's S Mod Standards. The layout is completely modular which means that it can be used interchangeably with any other layout built according to NASG Standards, and Steve can move modules around in any way he wants. Steve built his all important split corner modules using guidelines created by the late S scale pioneer Bill Krause and his layout, in many ways, stands today as a tribute to Bill. The split corner pieces are an integral part of the CT S Gauger's modular layout that we take on the road with us to various train shows throughout the state. Steve operates on code .125 handlaid track with Kurtz Kraft hand held tethered throttles.

The photo at left is the HO First National Bank by Design Preservation Models (DPM). Steve has kitbashed the structure to S scale by raising the floors at each level.	The photo at right is also a kitbashed HO structure by DPM--Roberts Dry Goods. Note how the S scale figure is just the right size.
