Roadway design
Routeing streets:
First determine
the street layout by simply positioning
the street sections. Connecting the
sections makes this a breeze. All road-
way sections have a laser cut groove
which will later hold the contact wire.
Attention: Glue the sections fully to
the background.
Variable routeing:
The flexible La-
ser-Street track makes route variations
very easy. This street section is varia-
ble and allows the respective routeing
in the tightest of spaces. Customise
your street route with minimal effort.
Drill holes:
The break-out and the
offset for branches are prefabricated
in the contact wire routeing so that it
only needs to be inserted and secured.
Holes are predrilled in any wise loca-
tion along the contact wire routeing
for inserting sensors.
Installation:
Thanks to the various
installation aids adding a bus stop for
example takes mere minutes. The gen-
eral system of the functional compo-
nents can also be seen on these parts,
making implementing custom ideas
significantly easier.
Curves:
Vehicles swing out, just as in
real traffic, i.e. if traffic enters a
curve the wire is routed outward. The
curve sections can be used from both
sides so that the same section can be
used for right and left curves.
Terrain transitions:
The street sec-
tions are made from 3 mm thick
three-layered plywood and are flexible
yet very sturdy. Use small rigid foam
blocks to create uneven pavements and
terrain transitions.
Installation aids:
All roadway sec-
tions are primed for installing func-
tional elements. Regardless if it’s a
Branch-off junction (161677), Stop sec-
tion (161675), Parking space (161674)
or a Sensor (161773). We have provid-
ed installation aids for every element.
Combined method:
To customise your
design even further use 3 mm plywood
to build your own route sections. Sim-
ply disconnect the street element joints
and shorten them to the desired length.
Then integrate a piece of plywood.
Groove cutter:
Now preferably mark
the desired driving path and cut the
groove for the contact wire with a
Groove Cutter (161669). Implementing
your ideas doesn’t get any easier and
quicker. This allows you to build any
design you would like yet benefit from
