Those who follow this site will notice a new On30 Modular Group link — Eastern Carolina On30. This is a new group based in Eastern North Carolina, and, while they’re developing their own standard, the decisions they’ve made thus far are bringing them towards a standard that will interface perfectly with any of the other MADModule-based groups.

Plans are coming along for our setup at Kimberton in May. So far, we know that we’ll have Kevin’s serpentine connecting modules; Geren’s yard section. Charlie, Bill and Greg promise to bring a bit over 20′ in modules, and Nathan from the Tri-State group will be debuting his new Sheepscott station module.

Bob Beebe expects that we’ll be able to have the same space as last year, and it looks like we’ll be able to use every bit of it!

There’s not much action on the Great Scale Model Train Show setup. It would have been a great time for a debut connection with the James River Division guys. Unfortunately, they’ve scheduled a setup day down in Midlothian on the 4th, so they won’t be able to make it.
