New Designs: 'Transform Train Garage'

Okay, before you say, "Whaaa?" It's a direct translation for 車庫に変身(shako ni henshin). Our newest layout incorporates a 4-lane tunnel that moonlights as a train storage case when not in design use.


This unique layout contains four independent loops which fully utilize all four lanes of the train case.  Trains are able to travel freely from loop to loop using a number of manual switches and splitters.



As an added bonus, the track takes advantage of the R-12 Figure-8 splitter, allowing the train to enter and exit the inner loops on the same rail.  When all of the splitters are set in just the right position, a single train can traverse the entire course of the layout without any additional switching or interference.
