Another wood track begins

Postby tracyridge » Fri Sep 26, 2014 8:47 pm

]Hi all!
Its been a long time since I have had the space to build a track. Now that I have bought and settled into my new, {new to me} home.The time has come :banana-dance:
Overall table length 20ft , width 4ft to a max of 8, lane spacing , 4 inches , slide aprons , min 5 inches, a big wide, 5ft, sweeping banked turn ,increasing and decreasing radius turns , and no turns the same . Longest straight measures in at 16 ft. and lots of elevation changes. After market power, with parma controlers , will be upgrading those soon as they are ten plus years old.
I am switching over to Race Coordinator for timing and lap counting.
And with plenty of room for scenery! I have already started the forest section. The table building phase went fast, as did the routing phase . Thanks to Luffs flexible guide! The wiring phase was a little longer. Wired for brakes , of course, with three different power tapes for each lane . Control panels use a standard 110 wall plug , with a rotary switch to "dial in" lanes 1,2,or 3 . cup holders are in the works!
More pics and updates to come as things progress
Thanks for checking it out, hope you enjoy the pics

Nice looking layout, lots of interesting sections, and a nice long straight.
Curious as to how you did the brick work though ?
It looks great.

Looking good. Plenty of scope for landscape detail. Nice change of visual texture with the brick paving. Looking forward to further developments.
