Not enough space?
Posted: Sun May 25, 2014 8:51 pm
For those who say they do not have enough space to store or transport modules here are some ideas.
This is my latest, at 22" long the Western Union's shortest. It weighs less than 1.5Kg, probably just over when finished.
These short "mini modules" came from the short end modules that RS Tower have. We at Western Union have made several through versions, they don't have legs, but are clamped between other modules. There is a limit to the number that can be used in a layout, as they can only fit between full modules, but do add useful length to space out modules.
This one was made to fill a gap on our junction module's stored configuration. This is about 4 hours work so far.
It could be paired with a ply or even card cover or another module. This would fit any car or even could be carried on a bus or train.
Causeway is a corner that folds in two, about 36" long, this is a full module and requires legs. The legs are fitted into sockets and I'm sure could be made foldable or extendable to make them easier to carry.
As can be seen, I don't go for flat scenery and even the new one has the foam base cut away to make a river and flood plain. It had to cut out to clear a tower on the opposing board, I extended this to make the river.
