Modular sections

I think your measuring is off? Most HO modules are about 30 inches wide and use 36" radius turns. If you do it this way the sides are 30 inches where they join and you trim off two triangles with 18" bases. If you go 24" inch watch the ouside corner to make sure the track stays on the top, I think the way you were looking at it it would hang in space. Better is to radius the inside corner so the backboard curves instead of having 22.5 degree angles where it joins the side modules. You do realise I guess that module layouts are reversed from shelf layous, that is they stand in the center of the room and are walked around. The center is used at shows to house the operators and controls.
