Layouts during the S-MOD mania years:

Pre-1985


The first module built by the CJSS was a 16 ft switching layout that is still in use as of September 2006. From that module, the S-MOD system was developed through the creation of the S-MOD standards committee which included S Club representatives from all over the U.S.
1985


The 16 ft CJSS module owned by Mike Ferraro was shown at several RailExpo shows at the Central Jersey Railroad Terminal at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, NJ.  I first met the club in 1985 at one of those shows... and that began my module mania.
1986


Several CJSS modules were taken to the 1986 NASG Convention sponsored by the Southeastern Michigan S Gaugers.  I do not have a diagram of that large layout.

Since 1991, the CJSS Get-Together Meets changed to a joint S-MOD Layout / S Dealer gathering. Due to space limitations, no large layouts have been created.
