Roadway design
Making roadway design a certain success: Laser-Street
Galleries
Our galleries will guide you without a lot of
words, illustrating key process steps. You will
then know how roadways are installed and how
to plan the installation of various components.
FALLER Laser-Street roadway elements can be
used temporarily or as a complete roadway sys-
tem. »Finishing and decorating« will provide you
with everything you need to know about decorat-
ing your new roadway.
Materials
We recommend using rigid foam sheets and a
wooden frame for creating model designs. Your
design will be lighter and easier to work with.
For streets we recommend using 3 mm thick
three-layered poplar plywood, which is also what
we use for FALLER Laser-Street elements.
Roads are every city’s nerve cords just as a design will only truly come alive with ani-
mated streets. The right basic knowledge and the extensive FALLER accessories make
roadway designs a breeze. There are different techniques and accessories depending on
what you wish to accomplish.
FALLER Laser-Street
FALLER Laser-Street features prefabricated street
elements which simply connect together and al-
ready have a groove for the contact wire. Custom
roadway routeings and integrating curves, pass-
ing points, branches, bridges and slip roads can
also be implemented just as easily. Roadways are
particularly simple and accurate to design with
FALLER Laser-Street, without foregoing the famil-
iar variety in the design.
Customisation
The groove cutter also allows roadway designs to
be customised to your ideas. We merely recom-
mend a minimal curve radius of 150 mm to en-
sure a smooth flow of oncoming traffic for all
Car System vehicles. The unmatched routeing al-
lows you to include unique design features in de-
tail. See page 6 for additional customisations.
