Chipboard Junction
Chipboard Junction recreates the Saturday-afternoon train set: a sheet of particle board on trestles, a box of sectional track, a power controller and a handful of Australian locomotives. Build the layout in 3D, then switch to the controller and run it.

About Chipboard Junction
Track clips together the way real sectional track does, using genuine HO/OO Setrack geometry: 168 mm straights, 1st and 2nd radius curves, left and right points, level crossings and buffer stops. Close a loop and the ends join automatically.
Dress the board with platforms, a station with a verandah, a goods shed, weatherboard cottages, a country hotel, gum trees and a hill with a tunnel. Name your stations and the signs update.
In play mode the knob sets track volts, just like a 1970s DC controller. Pick from NSW, Victorian and South Australian locomotives, run passenger or goods trains, stop at platforms to pick up passengers, and try the cab-ride camera through the township. Go too fast on a curve and the train tips over.
