Thomas M. Tuerke has
been a model railroader
since the age of 8, and has
aspirations of someday
being a rail tycoon (at the
head of a turn-of-the-last-
century HO layout set in
and around San Francisco).
Life, family, and building
a new house have so far
prevented full realization
of that dream, but on trips
across the Pacific he has
gained an appreciation of
the wonderful Japanese rail system, as well as the Less
is More sensibility, both of which are manifested in T-Trak
modules in N scale.
When not modeling, Thomas manages a team of crack
engineers at a San Francisco-based software firm, and
along with his wife, is managing to raise two young
daughters.
