In issue #119 of Voie Libre there's a story about a fascinating O-14 layout called The Boidon-Cuncou Wire Drawing Mill. When I saw its trackplan it seemed like a trefoil to me even though it's more like a triangle with rounded corners - it's likely another case of me seeing trefoils in everything :-) So somewhat tongue-in-cheek I applied The Trefoil Transform to trefoilize it. Well, the trefoilization was not that effective as I think the trackplan would require further modification if it were to be used on a trefoil layout board. But, that inner trackage provides an interesting starting point for a trefoil based layout that is something other than a simple tour around the perimeter.
Notes about E. L. Moore, mid-20th century model railroading, and other model making related interests.

You don't spend time with a fidget spinner do you? That might explain the trefoil filter...
ReplyDeleteNo, you're right, I'm deficient in the whole fidget spinner department.
