The East Penn Traction Club
Light Rail Modeling
Trolley cars began making a comeback in the United Sates in 1981 when
San
Diego opened the first Light Rail Line. Since
then 59 other lines
have begun
operation and the list is growing. Through these web pages the East Penn
Traction Club hopes to
bring attention to this
modern-day aspect of our hobby and to encourage
some of you to venture into the exciting world of light rail modeling.
As the newest section on the East Penn web site, expect to see continual
updates as we are able to post more information about kits,
ready-to-run models, module standards, etc. Come back often to see
what's new!

East Penn has yet to define standards or Light Rail Modules. This link will take you to a
presentation given at the 2009 EPTC Meet where Chris Bradley showed his findings and ideas for
LRT modular operation. East Penn will not present a standard proposal until one or more modules
have been built and we have experience to draw on.
