Module frame is trapezoidal. The angle of 45 degrees is created by the two mirrored 22,5° angles at both ends. Two of those frames of 45° make up a 90° curve. Two frames in opposite combination make up for a sidewise offset. This frame may be combined with any other of all offered module frames. With the longer side aligning to the 90cm lenght standard and the shorter sife aligning to the 60cm length standard, this module fits well for layouters.
This frame is at it´s broadest width broader than the straight or trapezoidal frames to assure enough space to the outer visitor´s edge at the vertex of the track curve.

Curve radius is 100 and 97 cm (outer curve) or 87 and 84 cm (inner curve) based on a track distance and position according to the NCI standard. (Works accordingly with any other standard but exact figures are different).

Cross frames provide 4 holes of 4 mm for bus wires and an additional 4 holes of 4 mm to fix bus wire plugs for tidying up the cables below during transport or for an untangled insertion of frames into transport cases. Cross frames are placed 1 cm below the top frame height to allow for the track board to be mounted on top. Cross frames are only 12cm high and provide extra free room below the cross frames and above bottom line of the frame.

Holes according to NCI standard are mirrowed (bright red markings) to allow usage as a side changer (in both directions) at your own preference without the need for additional frame types.

Set includes: 4 side boards, 2 cross frames, 2 module heads, 32 screws 3x40 mm (TX 20) and 1 partial top cover. Leg holders, fully closed tops or legs are available as separate add-ons.

Wood glue, ascrewdriver and preferably clamps are sufficient. No further machinery needed.

Details on product safety as per EU regulation
Modelling item - no toy. Boards made of layered wood sheets that come with “sharp” corners and may have chipping edges. Only roughly sanded (equivalent 80). There is a low risk of injuries by chips or rough surfaces and also if dropped on oneself or if parts hit people with impact. Will burn easily if exposed to fire and may fully dissolve into smoke. Will eventually fully rot like wood if exposed to force of nature yet contains glue of unknown environmental impact between the layers. When glueing the parts together, the instructions and safety precautions displayed on the glue bottle are to be followed. If not mounted according to the instructions, the modular frame may turn out to be dysfunctional.
