Southwest Ave Extension

Southwest Ave started as a module consisting of two segments:

The segments are sitting on their wall mounts, to the right is still attached a short extension to allow operating, to the left a similar extension is already removed. The two segments were designed from the beginning to allow an extension in the the middle. This does not only affects the track plan but also that every single track has to end square to the end of its segment.

I bought the plywood needed at a local carpenter and he also cut it as needed, so building the modules wasn't an issue.

The picture above shows five new modules, built and painted, arranged in a fancy way in my garden. The extension for Southwest Ave is in the middle, all other modules will be used for new projects.

The following picture shows the left segment of Southwest Ave. To the left follows a corner module, to the right the center segment will be inserted:
