Roadway design 5 Laser-Street – Step by Step Routeing streets: First determine the street layout by simply positioning the street sections. Connecting the sections makes this a breeze. All roadway sections have a laser cut groove which will later hold the contact wire. Attention: Glue the sections fully to the background. Curves: Vehicles swing out, just as in real traffic, i.e. if traffic enters a curve the wire is routed outward.
Roadway design Custom roadway design To integrate FALLER Car System into your existing design the so-called sunken method may be right for you. Use the Groove Cutter (161669) to customise the routeing of the contact wire and adapt the flow of traffic to local factors. Preparation Our recommendation: Use rigid foam sheets with a wooden frame for the base frame and use 3 mm thick poplar plywood for streets and other constructions.
Roadway design 7 Finishing and decorating Add a final touch to your street before traffic starts moving permanently. Line the kerbside with guide posts and secure curves with crash barriers. The kerbside can easily be created with a little filler and some spreading material.
