Once again I'm in the building phase after quite a few weeks planing the next module.
This time I'm doing a station module using curves for greater flexibility.
The station is a freelanced town set in the south west in the 50's.
I plan on having a small engine house + coaling, a wooden water tank, a station, a freight depot + a few more things [
]
The original plan looked like this
After a few suggestions from friends, I opted for curved segments:
A few possible combinations:
The 37degree sections are all made after these measures:
the two first, just to verify the construction
with 'reinforcement' it seems to hold.
Mass production :mrgreen:
between the segments are 3 tracks, 6cm apart.
I used one half of a cork roadbed as a 'ruler' when drawing lines (so that I'd know where to put the glue)
Cork under pressure
the first strip in place, more to come...
