If you are a regular follower of the blog, you will have seen pictures from my modular layout. Both the C track articles and some of the landscaping articles feature stuff from the construction of the layout. Here are some pictures from the layout as it currently looks.

I like to build, rebuild, break down, set up, build again, and again and rebuild and so it goes. In other words: I need a track system that is easy to use and easy to set up and take down. The Trix C track stands out when it comes to track systems with built-in track bed. The Trix C track is a derivative of the Märklin C tack, but without the center rail. Trix C track is built for 2-rail operation and comes complete with support for RP25 wheel sets and powered frogs.
Updated: I have added additional images of the turnouts.

With the new Märklin and Trix catalogue hitting the streets, the guess work is over, because a drawing is now included.
