Or alternatively, use the two from the other end and I will make something to cover the exact length of the diagonal fence in front of the grandstand.

Those hairpins look really tight !!! Not sure if I can get round them . The track looks really good .

You'll manage Steve I only binned it once in my 10 mins running, and that's because I was attempting to film with my phone (that bit got edited out )

By the time you get here there should be a bit more grip

Awesome track

….the back drop looks seamless …were did you get it from?

 

[Savage]

The backdscenes were made by the same company CMOTD linked in his thread: http://www.art-printers.com/backscenes%2015%20inch%20p1.htm

I got the premium poly ones for extra durababilty.

Model railway suppliers are the best place to find them, or ebay, mine came from http://www.newmodellersshop.co.uk/

They are approx 5ft lengths and you get 2 in a tube. There are various scenes, I got 3 from the set of 5 named "Village Long".

I have been considering a backdrop from them. They really do look great in your photos. I think I will go ahead with it.

 

[Savage]

On close inspection you can see some jpeg artifacts and softening, but they are meant to be just a backdrop and not your focus. from a few feet away they look fine

Thanks to Racing Line (Duncan) a small shufffle around of those ever so important car protection barriers ... in real life to keep people safe, in slot car world these can lessen the chance of breakages.

Now I have more coverage and a much more even look

 

[RACING LINE]

Much better, I am a big fan of one sponsor per corner and that row of Goodyear proves it. Now you can rubber in the track in relative safety.

Looking good , should , with any luck be able to get over next Wednesday with Brian .Be able to see if I can trundle round the hairpins

So sharp and tidy looking - beautiful!

Lovely looking circuit, I bet you hate walking out of the door each time it leaves me feeling the same colour as your backdrop. Very nice job indeed thanks for the walkthrough.

Good to see you again Steve, and thanks for the Marshal huts.

Next time we will get some more racing in, Brian and I eventually got RC working as it should, we still don't know why or what was causing the issue, but we seem to have fixed it by basically starting from scratch !

 

[Fluff]

Jolly good ,so perhaps I wasn't as bad as I thought . Once again thanks for a great day .
Steve

 

[Fluff]

Thanks also for the swapsie bits ,got it laid out on the jig Now got to solder it all together

 

[Savage]

No probs, if those wheels turn out too large, let me know and I can bring smaller ones next time we race

Update the Galaxy thread with pics etc, I would love to see your chassis in progress.

My goodness was I that fast !!! Posts of the Galaxy build to follow shortly .Bacon butties helped a great deal .

 

[CMOTD]

Enjoyable day out as usual. Thanks for your hospitality Tel. Track is excellent and bacon butties are always welcome. Its been a long time since I had to muck about with RC and the latest version definitely presents a few challenges when you are used to a previous one.

Our unofficial "Gentlemen Of Leisure' racing club now has three tracks to play on. I wonder if anybody else with free time on Wednesdays and living within reach of Norwich, Ely or King's Lynn would like to join us for our monthly meetings?

As long as you aren't fast !!!!!!
