About KSONS

The Kentuckiana Society of "N" Scalers (KSONS) is a hobby organization.  Our members share a common interest in model railroading, and specifically in "N" scale model trains.  This is the smallest size of generally available models, with a ratio of 1:160.  That is, one inch of model equals 160 inches of prototype (full-size) train.  This is about one half the size of of the other popular scale "HO", and about one quarter that of the original Lionel toy trains.  While many of our members have some sort of layout at home, most of us have built "N-Trak" modules (small sections of railroad), which conform to a published standard.  This allows us to bring all of our individual parts together and assemble a large layout for operation and public viewing.  The trains can be run analog or Digital Command Control (DCC).  We welcome anyone interested in model railroading to join with us, even if they do not have a layout or modules.  Our by-laws do require that younger members have an adult sponsor, who is also a member of the club.  Our annual dues are fifty dollars ($50.00).
