T-TRAK (all letters capitalized) is a modular model railroad system based on standards for module size, track placement, track interface, and electrical connections. The standards allow for a wide range of flexibility in design yet still maintain interoperability with all modules built per the standards.
The NMRA published alternative, more accurate and realistic standards for track and wheels sheet in S-1.1 These model railway standards are based on the full size prototype standards and the scale model operational reliability is therefore reduced in comparison to the models conforming to the normal NMRA standards.
NTRAK (all upper case letters) is one of several model railroad module standards. It is the most popular standard for use in United States N scale . NTRAK allows modelers to participate in a large layout but only invest a small amount of space at their own home.
A scale diagram of a CarTrak ACI plate for a railroad car. The plate contains information for a hypothetical railroad car owned by RailBox corporation, with a car identification number of 33646. The black portion around the labels is a metal back plate, painted a non-reflective black that labels were often affixed to, which was then mounted ...
Consider a railway with two block sections as in the diagram. Section 1 has frequency A injected at the left-hand end and received at the right-hand end. Section 2 continues from the right hand end of section 1 where frequency B is injected and then received at the right-hand end of section 2. Track circuited railway with two block sections
Like the manual block systems outlined above, automatic systems divide the route into fixed blocks. At the end of each block, a set of signals is installed, along with a track-side sensor. When a train passes the sensor, the signals are triggered to display the "block occupied" aspect on the signals at either end of that block.
In many ways the VMEbus is equivalent or analogous to the pins of the 68000 run out onto a backplane.. However, one of the key features of the 68000 is a flat 32-bit memory model, free of memory segmentation and other "anti-features".
In any given country, rail traffic generally runs to one side of a double-track line, not always the same side as road traffic. Thus in Belgium, China, France (apart from the classic lines of the former German Alsace and Lorraine), Sweden (apart from Malmö and further south), Switzerland, Italy and Portugal for example, the railways use left-hand running, while the roads use right-hand running.
