O-gauge layout - WTTC operates an O-gauge modular layout with three continuous loops of Lionel O-gauge track, which has been featured at many shows around the region. The two outside tracks have O-72 curves which can support the biggest O gauge engines available and the inner track has O-36 turns. The current full size with all modules in place is 15-feet by 48-feet. For smaller spaces some of the modules can be left out to reduce the layout size to 15-feet by 20-feet. All three loops can be operated with conventional transformer control but we also operate DCS and TMCC control systems on the large layout. A couple of our members have the new Lionel Legacy control system which makes an appearance at some events.
Carpet Central layout - Dubbed Carpet Central because it can be set up on any flat surface (or carpeted floor). We have put together several large boxes of Lionel Fast track which is an aluminum track with a plastic road bed. This is much easier for small groups to transport to an event in a single car and is also very good for small spaces and quick set up and tear down. With this layout we use tables provided by the event host. We have several pieces of grass turf carpet and over x pieces of track to make up the layout that works best for the event situation. With this setup the number of loops and the size of the layout is pretty much just limited by the imagination of the club members and the event space available.
S-gauge layout - This layout curently consists of eighteen section. Plans are being formalized to build an additional fourteen modules. Included in the additional sections will be a bridge module that will allow members to enter and leave the layout without having to crawl under the tables to get inside the layout. This layout has two continues loops that can handle the largest of the S scale locamotives available.
