Description: A variant of the [[North Geelong Wye]] Y-Junction - an irregular pentagon shaped module that turns three standard corners into a dogbone reversing loop with siding.
The short end of the pentagon is designed to have the standard 38mm T-Track fascia to front track measurement on both sides, so when you join that end onto a standard modules the "front" sides will all line up, but the back side will be deeper.
When created in Anyrail it reckons the bits don't line up, but when assembled in real life I was able to flex the track joints to make it line up at the three points. It uses #6 turnouts, 315mm curves on the inner loop (standard T-Track "wide" curve) and a mix of 718mm and 481 mm for the outer, and a short piece of straight track to avoid S curve going into the dogbone.
Module benchwork is 40x18mm dressed pine for the three sides that mate with other modules, 70mm tall strips of 3mm MDF for the outwards facing fascias, 30mm XPS foam for the deck, and legs are held into nut inserts driven into the pine at each of the five corners. The angle calculations are a complete mess!
To avoid having ugly RCA sockets visible on a front fascia, or being forced to use the module in a specific orientation, both power conenctions are fly leads with a RCA socket on the end.
