Description: The prototype for the Monkton Park Primary School T-TRAK Club’s “type 2” 45-degree corner is the curve between Reedham Junction and Reedham Swing Bridge in Norfolk, England. The railway line from Norwich to Lowestoft turns through a tight curve in a shallow cutting with fields on one side and gardens on the other. I cheated a bit and “moved” the old disused telegraph pole, which in real life is a bit further down the line on a straight section.
The module base is 3D-printed for a lightweight and precise curved module of minimum width: 33mm track spacing with 38mm of scene either side.
An aerial view of the module, which is an early summer scene in Norfolk, England.
A view along the track. There’s a short run of impressive disused telegraph poles alongside the line between Reedham Junction and Reedham Swing Bridge.
The module is printed in a vibrant orange. In this picture, the module has been cleaned up (only a little tidying of the hexagonal recesses in the base) and the module feet fitted. The M6 nuts are glued in the recesses and the 40mm bolts retract into voids printed inside the module.
