Turnout Control:

All turnouts are operated by Tortoise machines powered by Digitrax DS54 Stationary Decoders controlled by DCC switch commands. The DCC switch commands are generated by Team Digital SRC8 circuits in response to push-button operation. Three identical control panels are provided, each with push-buttons and LEDs to show the selected route. These panels are interconnected by either a private or the layout LocoNet so that a change made on any panel is reflected on the other panels. For more information click here.

Track Plan

Description
Red Rock Junction is a free lance interpretation of railroading as might typically be found in the Appalachian Region. The red coloration of the rocks is common in this Region as is the hilly topography. Although there is no prototypical basis for the track plan, it represents the rural coal lines as well as the heavy traffic main lines common in the Region. All, of course, modified to fit the NTRAK plan. This is a "full-function junction" as it serves both Mountain Division and the Red Line Route.
