Layout Concepts Corner Baseboards – 400mm, 600mm & 800mm

Make the most of your available space with Layout Concepts Corner Baseboards, designed to connect sections of your model railway and create practical L-shaped, U-shaped and continuous layouts.

Part of our popular Layout Concepts Modular Baseboard System, these precision laser-cut corner boards provide a strong, stable foundation for extending your railway around corners, making it easier to create larger and more interesting track plans without the complexity of building your own baseboard framework.

Manufactured from 12mm poplar plywood, our corner baseboards combine strength with manageable weight, providing a reliable platform for track, buildings, scenery and other features.

Available in 400mm × 400mm, 600mm × 600mm and 800mm × 800mm, they are designed to complement our standard Layout Concepts baseboards, giving you greater flexibility when planning your railway.

Three Sizes to Suit Your Layout

Our corner baseboards are available in three sizes, allowing you to choose the most suitable option for your space and adjoining baseboard sections.

• LCBB-CO40 – 400mm × 400mm Corner Baseboard: A compact solution for layouts where space is limited, ideal for smaller scenic sections and tighter room layouts.

• LCBB-CO60 – 600mm × 600mm Corner Baseboard: A versatile option for connecting 600mm-deep baseboard sections and creating attractive corner areas.

• LCBB-CO80 – 800mm × 800mm Corner Baseboard: Our largest corner board, offering additional space for track formations, buildings and detailed scenery.

Whether you're building a compact railway along two walls or a larger layout occupying an entire room, these corner sections provide a practical way to make use of space that might otherwise be wasted.

Create L-Shaped, U-Shaped & Around-the-Room Layouts

One of the biggest advantages of a modular baseboard system is the freedom to design your railway around the space you have available.

Our corner baseboards allow you to change the direction of your layout by 90 degrees, helping you connect straight baseboard sections and create a variety of track plans.

They are particularly useful for:

• L-Shaped Layouts: Join two sections of railway at a right angle, making excellent use of room corners.

• U-Shaped Layouts: Use corner boards to create a larger railway with longer running sections and additional scenic opportunities.

• Around-the-Room Railways: Extend your layout around the walls of a railway room to maximise available running space.

• Modular Exhibition Layouts: Create flexible layouts using sections that can be assembled into different configurations.

• Scenic Corner Sections: Incorporate curves, junctions, buildings and landscape features into otherwise awkward areas.

By combining corner boards with standard straight baseboards, you can create a railway that fits your available space rather than having to compromise on your track plan.

Designed to Complement Layout Concepts Standard Baseboards

Our corner sections form part of the wider Layout Concepts Modular Baseboard System, allowing you to plan a complete railway using a combination of straight and corner baseboards.

They complement our standard baseboard range, including:

LCBB-128, LCBB-126, LCBB-124, LCBB-108, LCBB-106, LCBB-105, LCBB-104, LCBB-98, LCBB-96, LCBB-94 and LCBB-84.

With a selection of baseboard lengths and depths available, you can build a modular layout to suit your room, track plan and modelling requirements.

Simply choose the appropriate corner board dimensions to suit your adjoining sections and desired layout configuration.

Maximise Your Scenic & Track Planning Opportunities

Corner sections are often some of the most interesting parts of a model railway, offering opportunities to introduce sweeping curves, scenic transitions and changes in the direction of your track.

Rather than leaving the corners of your layout room unused, you can incorporate them into your railway with realistic scenery and additional operational features.

Depending on the space available and your chosen scale, corner sections can accommodate a range of features, including:

• Curved track sections connecting adjoining baseboards.

• Scenic embankments, cuttings and tunnels.

• Railway bridges and overbridges.

• Countryside landscapes and woodland.

• Small buildings, roads and other scenic details.

• Trackside infrastructure and railway structures.

The larger corner boards provide additional space for more generous track formations and detailed scenery, helping you create a smooth visual transition between different sections of your layout.

Precision Laser-Cut Construction

Manufactured from high-quality 12mm poplar plywood, Layout Concepts Corner Baseboards are designed to provide a strong, stable and relatively lightweight foundation for your model railway.

Precision laser-cut components ensure accurate fitting and straightforward assembly, removing much of the measuring, cutting and preparation normally associated with constructing traditional wooden baseboards.

The result is a professional, practical baseboard solution that allows you to spend less time on woodworking and more time building and enjoying your railway.

Expand Your Layout with Alignment Dowels & Accessories

For modular layouts that need to be assembled, dismantled or transported, accurate alignment between adjoining baseboards is particularly important.

Our Layout Concepts Alignment Dowels, available separately, can help locate adjoining sections consistently when connecting compatible baseboards.

We also offer a range of baseboard accessories, including support legs and other components to help complete your layout.

Please note: Alignment dowels, legs, track and scenery are available separately and are not included with the corner baseboards.
