DalaGStanator's Customs, Mods and Experiments

This one's intentionally not as good as my regular projects, but I made it simply to practice making a basic interior for a coach. As such, the plastic windows will not be added and it won't be painted or fitted with wheels/couplings. The roof is removable for access by being held with matchsticks at the end. Despite how short the body is, I chose a corridor design since that's the main type I wish to replicate. It's built to the same scale as 69420, which makes it the right size for UE track. "Proper" coaches should have more faithful interiors to their prototypes/inspirations, likely following images of scale models to make things a bit easier.



In both my previous attempts at making a cross piece for the small track (never pictured), I didn't quite take into account the most obvious thing I needed to check: the exact spot where two straights at the ends of a half loop would meet if such a piece existed.



It oddly turned out a bit off to the side and not quite how I envisioned, hence one corner being a lot shorter than the other three. Since I had to make it shorter in both directions than a regular straight, I found tracing the connectors a bit harder than usual. While testing, the transition from cardboard to plastic worked flawlessly. Only that one corner should've been equal and the connectors aren't very good, but it's still correctly designed. If I had twelve curves rather than eight, I would've been able to finish the other half (minus connections; unless I'd trace new curves facing the other way).
