themselves connect without the ends of the modules getting
in the way [3-4]. The Kato Unijoiners will be doing all the work
holding the track together. (In fact, they can hold the weight of
an entire module; see picture [5].)
Draw a rectangle 2mm (or 1/16”) shorter than your refer-
ence track length, and 8¼” wide. You will also want two more
strips exactly the same length to be the front and back sides of
the module. The goal is to have a module that is 70mm (2¾”)
tall, so the height of these side pieces will be that measure-
ment minus the thickness of the board. In my case – where the
foam-core measured 5mm – my pieces were 65mm, but you’ll

6. When all the pieces are cut out, they should look
like this. Note that the sides are as long as the top,
but the ends are a bit narrower.
