More street parts for the Tomytec moving bus system.
After basic street plates for the bus system already uploaded here:

I found that turns are needed and the possibility to run different ways… so I created these static turn and passing plates. The direction the bus will run is predefined by the positioning of the gap in the magnetic wire glued in.
Having these parts in place I created different kinds of turns and realized that there are some adapting length of street plates needed, namely S37, S29, S33 and S66 (what is basically a S33+S29). So I made these street plates as well and provided them here as well.
Hope you enjoy these extended possibilities to create streets for Tomtec’s great bus/street system.
General comments for all kind these plates:
You need a steel wire to clue into the prepared channel on back side. I made best experience with Faller’s wire for its car system (Faller is also a distributor of the Tomytec bus system in Europe):

but probably any other steel wire of 0.5mm diameter should work as well (must be magnetic, so stainless steel wire may not work well).
The DIY-street plates print without supports and 0.4mm nozzle, but with very fine layer height of 0.08mm to achieve needed quality. Good bed adhesion is need, so please clean your building plate before printing. The end clips are printed separately and must be glued in at last step.
Happy printing and a lot of fun with your layout!
