Whilst browsing through YouTube, I came across a new channel devoted to the Hex-Trak concept.
The channel is entitled Tabletop Railroad and its originator states that is is dedicated to 'various projects and plans from a tabletop, modular railway.' His modular railway concept uses hexes and Kato N-gauge model railway track ... both of which are close to my heart.
As I watched the videos, I was struck by the idea that this might be a way for me to combine both my interest in modular wargame terrain and model railways. The hexes he uses are bit larger than the ones the I currently use (I use 100mm/3.93-inches wide Hexon II hexes and his are 248mm/9.76-inches wide) but this might not be as big a drawback as it first appears to be.
His model trains are narrow gauge S-scale ... which is 1/64th and makes them reasonably compatible with 28mm-sized wargame figures. As I think that the originator of this concept is or was a wargamer, this makes a lot of sense.
It is certainly something for me to think about.
