G'day all,

I have recently just finished my 3rd routed track (after many change's

) but it is now up and running with track border's and scenery to be completed over the next few week's.

The surface is Ferrodor and for power i went for 1/4"magnabraid.
If interested follow the link below for some more info..

Cheer's

No unfortunatly i have not had time to do anything , but this weekend i intend to atleast get the barriers done and undercoated.

@ r3k0, yes it has produced some fast and close racing, lap times are 5.5 sec on avg heres some more pic's of the build process.

I painted them a week after that photo, all lane's have full colour now.

I just have to roll the braid with something heavy to flatten some raised spot's (nothing major) i'm just not happy with it some of the (Scalextric only) feel the bump's for some reason were as other brand's are fine...

Already?
Just build a Kingleman and be done with it Dave!!!

 

[Miker]

That is very nice track, when will you be hosting the 1st Ford only race

Surely you can only get rid of it if you're planning something bigger and better, maybe digital? so at least the Holdens can bring up the rear

(coat on, I'm outta here)

Thanks Miker,
Hmm first Ford only race... well when i can find something strong enough to disinfect the track after racing

If i was to redo it it would be only to change the layout, digital maybe later.

 

[Davnic74]

A very productive day today with theouter barriers, just waiting for the bog to dry and back out there to sand then paint.

 

[Paul (NZ)]

Nice work David

Looks like you have a driver that is keen to run a few cars there.

 

[Davnic74]

Thanks Paul,

Yes the young fella loves the track, soon is he hears the tools stop he comes out and asks if he can have a drive .

No driving until you are tall enough to see the track!!!

 

[Davnic74]

Well after 4 coats of paint the boarders a finally finished, i made up some veeery basic drivers stations on hinges so they can fold away when not in use.
Now to start the scenery tonight...

 

[MrFlippant]

Those driver stations look great to me. If those are basic, what's missing that would make them... not basic?

Thanks mate,

In the near future i would like to add a small panel next to the controller socket with variable brakes,variable power(for the young fella) and a track call button.
