3mm is the right size (i.e. 1/8") or near enough. Freehanded routing is almost impossible as the router develops a will of its own, but there are several ways of guiding it so that you can have a completely free-form layout. There are kits available to help with this (I think they're made in the US), but you can probably source the necessary components over here.
Eastlands Park Routed Digital...
Hi
Have been thinking about a routed track for a while now and as the current setup is now starting to become a little boring now seems a good time to start.
The table size I have to play with is 12ftx6ft and it will all be done on a single level,the only thing decided so far as regards to track design is that the pit area will have to be along the back straight and it must be long as I wish to have plenty of garage space.
The cars will only be scalextric and running mag free is a added bonus of going copper tape route as with them throttle control is none existent,so need to find a suitable paint for the tyres to have some sort of grip as they will be kept standard.
The track will be digital and it is my intention to sink the digital track sections into the mdf,including the pb..
I have had a quick look for layouts based on my available track size and drew a blank,so if anyone knows of any on here a link to some pics would be great.
