Maketis is pleased to announce a major evolution in its module range with the arrival of new 11 cm deep extensions available in four lengths (MOD62000: 118 cm, MOD62100: 88.5 cm, MOD62200: 59 cm, MOD62300: 29.5 cm)! Imagine expanding your railway network without constraints, increasing both depth and length without modifying your existing modules. That is exactly what the new Maketis Easy Module extensions allow. With just an additional 11 cm, they offer unprecedented flexibility to adapt your layout to your needs.
Enhanced flexibility
Until now, the Maketis Easy Module range offered four module lengths (118 cm, 88.5 cm, 59 cm, and 29.5 cm) and two depths (59 cm and 29.5 cm). With these new 11 cm extensions, each length and depth now has a new version, doubling the configuration possibilities. This results in four new lengths (130, 100, 70, and 40 cm) and two new depths (70 and 40 cm). Your layout adapts to your needs, not the other way around!
Simple and efficient installation
Expanding your layout has never been easier. No need to modify your existing modules: the extensions attach directly to Easy Modules using the included connection kit. They are not equipped with a leg system and rely on the structure of the module they are connected to. Assembly is quick, precise, and ensures perfect visual and structural continuity.
Modularity tailored to your needs
Easy Module extensions are not modular on all sides like standard modules. However, they can be connected to each other to gain an additional 22 cm in depth, providing even more layout possibilities and flexibility for modelers looking to maximize available space.
Space optimization for all scales
When working on their projects, many modelers request greater depth for their layouts: passing stations with multiple track yards, wider curves for increased realism, or larger staging areas to store more rolling stock. These extensions offer exactly this flexibility, allowing you to optimize every centimeter of your layout, whether you model in O, HO, N, or Z scale.
Example of a layout plan designed for a client, integrating Maketis Easy Modules and two extensions to create a loop with a realistic radius:
A robust and ergonomic design
Manufactured with the same precision as Easy Modules, these extensions are solid and built to last. They feature openings for cable management and handling, ensuring easy installation and maintenance. If you use a backdrop, no problem: it can be temporarily removed and then repositioned on the extension, which remains fully compatible with Maketis lighting supports.
Multiple applications for a personalized layout
With Easy Module extensions, you can:
- Add a hidden yard track with a scenic divider.
- Extend a passing station for greater capacity.
- Create more realistic curves.
- Enhance your layout without structural constraints.
An innovation meeting modelers' expectations
At Maketis, we listen to the needs of enthusiasts and develop solutions that simplify railway layout construction. With these new extensions, you gain unprecedented modularity.
Let your creativity run free and give your layout a new dimension with Easy Module extensions!
We hope these extensions will help you realize a project you had in mind or inspire you to create an entirely new one.
