John Scott (webmaster, club contact, show director and promoter) likes smiling when running trains and attending big shows. He has done most of the leg work that goes into making a big show successful. E-mail him when you want to join Tucson Ntrak in a show. He started NTrak in 1991 with the South Hampton Rhodes NTrak Club in Norfolk Va. This club did NMRA Meets and Greenburg and GATS shows. I was there till May of 1997 and moved to Las Vegas after retiring from the Navy in Oct 1996. In Nov of 1997 I got together with a member of NMRA who posted a letter at a local hobby shop that he wanted to start a N Scale club. Six people met at his home and we formed the Southern Nev N Trakers in Nov 1997, and did the first show at a GATS at Cashman Field in 1998. We did small shows at NMRA members homes for monthly and regional meets. I moved to Mich. in 1999, and was out of touch with NTrak till I moved to Tucson in June of 2001. I looked for clubs and found ASWMRS on a flyer at AZ Trains and Called Gary C for a meeting time. It was in Oct 2001, I joined and brought up NTrak. In Nov, Tucson NTrak was born.

Gary Copus, AKA club dictator, is one of the club's most active contributors of ideas and work. As a cabinet maker by trade, Gary's work (and work shop) is responsible for our abundance of N-Trak modules and our expansive layout, when we had one.

Jim Meyer is our primary electrical technician. Thanks to Jim, the layout and modules he has worked on have the prettiest and most reliable wiring ever seen. See the DCC Module Control box for examples. As we see here, setup days are very long!

Jim Jones appears to be working, but this was just a pose. Jim did contribute to the design of this web site and has promoted the N scale camera car videos found at Aurotrains.com and on this site. Jim Jones is no longer an active member of the club and he has since moved from Tucson to the east coast. We still honor Jim because of his dedication to the club and his donations. He is responsible for much of the DCC work, website hosting, donating his space for a layout in his old house, supporting half of our trailer cost and letting the club use his truck to tow our trailer to Denver, three times to Winslow and many shows in Phoenix. We thank him for his support.

Stewart Draper is working some last minute details but generally having fun. Other than the fact he uses to much solder, Stewart is our most innovative modeler when it comes to layout problem solving. His most prominent innovation is a Thomas module where the Thomas track is powered by a stationary excercise bike and is the genus behind the Kato Expander track use for Ntrak modules.

Paul Wiley is a long time member from the very beginning during the DM AFB days. He is once again with us today. He is very good at many various aspects of Ntrak. His track work and ballasting is amazingly clean and best of all it works.

Frank and Barbra Slezak love touring with railroad shows, they have been to many of our shows including San Diego and Denver and they have recently decided to become members, now they are learning about N Scale and scenery. Unfortunately Barbra had passed away in early January 09 from natural causes. We will miss her greatly.

Jim Collom is the clubs Vice President and Secretary. His prior N scale experience was limited to an attempt to build a layout in Cairo, Egypt. He is finding it easier to work in N scale in Sahuarita, AZ. Jim’s interest is in trackside industry and switching opportunities. His Ntrak modules focus on developments along the mountain or green line. He is working towards a non-permanent home layout that comes and goes from time to time and incorporates the Ntrak modules along with a staging area and non-standard bridging.

Steve Boyer came to Tucson Ntrak after seeing our website, he was a very helpful member and had a new found passion for railroading in n scale. Steve passed away from a lung cancer in early August of 2008. He was 53. We will miss him at our meetings and train show. A dedication module is in the works presently.
