NNGC - Sippin and Switching Society modules

The 2021 National Narrow Gauge Convention was held in Hickory, NC in early September.

The conventions are organized to have modular model railroads on display during the convention. 

One such model railroad is comprised of very strong and lightweight modules made of luan plywood with a guide pin system on the end to hold them in alignment.


These modules have wooden end pieces to hold them in alignment for transport

This corner shows the lightening holes which keep the modules strong

The scenery on these modules was especially well done

These modules all incorporated three rail to allow running standard gauge and narrow gauge equipment

The aging parking lot was well done

I love the story this scene tells - the bear and cubs crossing the highway is great

Dad is trying to take a photograph and Mom is sheltering the children



These photos of photos show how large a setup is possible



The revenuers loading up the Cadillac for a moonshine run
