SPECIFICATIONS

eference: NMRA Standards and Recommended Practices, MS-1.0, MRP-1, MS-1.3, MRP-1.3, S9

Purpose: To establish a uniform set of standards and specifications for the construction of modules suitable for HO gauge model railroads.

Concept: To provide through a system of simple modular construction a model railroad system that meets the following criteria:

1. Expandable in all directions.2. All modules fully portable.3. Realistic operation with prototype length trains.4. Designed for:

(a) Individual home layouts where mobility is a factor. (b) Division members to gather together and set up a temporary layout.(c) Regional or National meets where a large space might be available.(d) Model railroad shows to promote the hobby.

5. Provides a basic foundation for all modelers regardless of skill to display their likes and talents.6. Constructed of readily available materials and quickly assembled for operation.7. Flexibility to change with new innovations and developments.

Basic Module Size: Straight Module - 24" x 48" (not including width of fascia board, 1/8" and backboard, ½"). Module depth may be increased to 30" max. Corner Module dimensions as shown in section (2). Return Loop Module dimensions as shown in section (3).

Module Sets: Module “sets” may be constructed using combinations of modules that are multiples of 48", i.e. 2 - 48" modules, 2 - 72" modules, etc. providing that the total length of the module set is a multiple of 4 ft (48") The only requirement is that the track centerlines, track ends, and electrical interface at the ends of the “Set” adhere to the specifications. Track position, and module construction within the “set” may be of the builder’s choosing.

Module Height: Floor to top of roadbed = 40"

Clearances: Vertical from top of rail = 3" minimum Horizontal from center of track = 1" minimum This applies to, but is not limited to, all bridges, buildings, signals, and tunnels.

Track: Code 100 Mainline track is preferred, The railhead must be 0.167" above the roadbed. This corresponds to ATLAS Code 100 or Code 83 track. Hand laid track is acceptable providing the roadbed to railhead dimension is maintained. All track off the Inside main line on a two track module must be electrically insulated from main line and powered from the Local power bus. Any track behind the Inside Main Line can be built as the modeler desires. For modules using the optional third track, any track behind the local track can be built as the modeler desires.

Mainlines:Centerline of outer main track is measured 5" from front face of front frame member, not from fascia board. Centerline of inner main track is 7" from front face of front frame member. Preferred track, ATLAS Code 100 Flex-Track. ATLAS Code 83 may be used, however if the builder uses Code 83, he must provide a transition joiner track.

SPECIFICATIONS

Optional Local Track:Centerline of local track is measured 9" from front face of front frame member, not from fascia board. Preferred track, ATLAS Code 100 Flex-Track. ATLAS Code 83 may be used, however if the builder uses Code 83, he must provide a transition joiner track.

Additional Track:Any track in addition to the mainlines and local track may be of the builders choosing.

Track ends:Both main lines and local track must end 4 1/2" from each end of the module.

Connecting track:Each module is connected by a standard 9" piece of commercial straight track, Code 100 Atlas Snap Track. If your module contains Code 83 track on the mainlines or local track, you must provide must provide a transition track.

Sidings: Must be no less than 2" from either main track or local track.

Grade: Mainline grade is 0%

Mainline Radius: Corner modules as specified in Corner Module Section.Return Loop radius - 22"

Turnouts: Main line must be at least Code 100 PECO Medium Insulfrog (approximately a #6). Hand laid turnouts in the mainline are discouraged.

Diamonds: Commercial Code 100 diamonds are recommended in mainline track.

Crossovers: Must be insulated at the crossover to electrically isolate the Outside Main from the Inside Main, and the Inside Main from the Local Track

Roadbed: Roadbed can be any suitable material that is 3/16" thick.

Ballast: Main line ballast must be Woodland Scenics gray medium (B-82).

Backboard Paint: Sherwin-Williams SW1787 “Baby Blues”orThe Home Depot Behr Interior Flat Wall 1050 UP White Quart

Pigment Oz 48ths. 96ths.Lamp Black 0 1 1D Thalo Green 0 3 0E Thalo Blue 0 8 0

Highway Crossings: Roadway material must be at least 1/32" below top of rail.

Uncouplers: None allowed in main line.

SPECIFICATIONS

Scenery: Scenery shall be finished with no scenery material showing. Scenery shall end at least one inch from the edge of the module so as not to conflict with the adjacent modules.

Signals: All block signal and grade crossing flasher systems shall be independently powered not using track power Block detection using current detection must use detectors that do not connect directly to track power. Use either current transformer detectors or opto-isolated detectors. When using current transformer detectors , the module or selected block must be isolated with an insulated track joiners.

General Electrical SpecificationsUse of 120VAC Power: 120VAC power is NOT allowed on or in ANY module. All accessories MUST be powered from

the Accessory AC power (white connector)

Track Power System The track power system shall be DCC using Lenz Digital Plus

Track Power Feed: Connections to the Outside Mainline, Inside Mainline and optional Local Track must be independent.

Wire: All interconnecting wire shall be 16 AWG stranded minimum. This includes wire for the Outer Mainline, Inner Mainline, Local Track, Accessory DCC and Accessory AC. 18 AWG stranded is recommended for connection from power bus to track.

Connectors: All track connectors shall be Anderson Powerpole PP15 or PP30The following are Anderson Powerpole part numbers:

15A Contacts (16 - 20 AWG) 133230A Contacts (12 - 16 AWG) 1331 RecommendedRed Housing 1327 Outside MainGreen Housing 1327G5 Return LoopBlack Housing 1327G6 AllWhite Housing 1327G ACBlue Housing 1327G8 Local TrackYellow Housing 1327G16 Inside MainOrange Housing 1327G17 Accessory DCC

Auxiliary connectors, not used for module power, may be any suitable connector of the builders choosing. Anderson Powerpole connectors are recommended.

.Accessory AC: AC accessory power 16-18 VAC of suitable current, (5-10 A) shall be provided for powering

accessories such as, switch machines, structure lighting, signal systems, etc. Use of 120VAC for powering accessories is NOT ALLOWED

Accessory DCC: A separate DCC booster shall be used to supply power for DCC controlled accessories such as switch machines.

DCC Command bus: The cab bus is based on commonly available components used for telecommunications and networking. Interconnects between modules use CAT5 (RJ45) patch cables chosen for dependability. Interconnect wire is 4 pair CAT5E cable. The connector is wired in conformance with wiring termination T568A
