When you make a layout of the usual oval type, ‎you use four 90°corner modules. If you build two reverse loop modules, you can make a very compact T-Trak standard module : track spacing 25mm layout. When you use reverse loop modules, a double track on normal T-Trak standard module is used as ths single lines which did two of parallel. The reverse loop modules is called by us "the dog born module".

Below is a making method of a reverse loop module.

Panel
1. You buy the art board which are the size of A3 paper (width : 420mm, depth : 297mm).
2. You stuck for board of the 5mm thickness on both ends, front and other side. A panel becomes slightly bigger (width : 430mm, depth : 307mm).

Tracks for two reverse loop modules
1. You buy KATO Unitrack four R216-15 (one pack #20-171).
2. You buy Tomix Fine Track eight C177-30, four S33, six C140-30 and four C140-60 (four packs #1113, two packs #1099 and three packs #1112).

Set Tracks
The height of the KATO Unitrack and Tomix Fine Track is different.KATO Unitrack is more height.
1. You stuck cardboards or plastic seats under the Tomix Fine Tracks and adjust the height.
2. You cut nail of the Tomix Fine Track which is connected with KATO Unitrack.
