Edmonton N Scalers Highlights

• Approximately 10 scale miles of mainline track, with an additional 5 scale miles of branch line track plus sidings and spurs
• Dramatic scenery with mountains, lakes canyons and plains
• Large passenger station with nearby roundhouse and turntable as well as diesel servicing area
• Dual mainlines with a large yard serving each, plus a branch line with its own small yard

• Based on N-Trak standards with an extra 6 inches on the rear carrying 2 additional tracks. (Similar in concept to the Bend Track system)
• Winner of several "Best in Show" awards at local and regional shows
