Golden Valley Route

A flexible 180 curve

This set of four modules were made to sneak around a table at home, but at modular meetings could be configured as needed be. The short sides all have the same 'interface' (symmetrical along the vertical centerline) They are also an extension of the first module I made.
They are all constructed basically the same way I did my first module, so it's not as detailed...
