3D model description

This is a tool that can help in a couple different ways in laying out your track plan on your layout's surface and helping to shape N Scale flex track to different radiuses. It is a compass that will make it easy to swing and mark curves of about any radius prior to laying roadbed and the track itself. Second it is also a tool that will help you shape your track to those radiuses (NOTE: This option only works for N Scale track -- not HO).

I'd recommend taking the time to read more about it and its uses on my web site here ....

I also have two videos up showing how to use my track laying tools.

Prints were printed with an Ender 3 Pro using Cura set on 'Standard Quality' in the 'Profile' setting and with a stock .4 nozzle.
