I am just now really getting in to model trains and my plan was to do modules (2x4ft) one at a time instead of a single large layout. I didn't plan to follow any standards but I'm thinking maybe I should that way I can bring my module(s) to clubs and shows. I'm new to the whole module thing, but someone recommended that I follow the Ntrak standard.
I just started work on my first module which doesn't conform to any standard, but so little has been done that it wouldn't be hard to change. However, for my second module, I wanted to have a fairly good size single (maybe double) track trestle bridge running through the middle of the module. But if I am to conform to the Ntrak standard, I would need two main lines and a branch line towards the front of the module. Unless I have a very large 8'+ module to route the branch line away, I wouldn't be able to have a single/double track bridge running through the middle of the module and still look good.
Does anyone have any ideas?
