Palmer Divide Raceway - MAJOR Update 3/24/13!

[dreinecke]

Whew! I'm whipped. I've been wanting to close off the scenery on the back stretch of the PDR since I re-routed the pit and start/finish area. While there is no turf down, I managed to get the screen, Sculptamold, paint, and some scenic touches completed. I'm super stoked about the two following areas: the Pit Lane, and the Footbridge.

An overall shot - notice the back stretch has a fence, that shall we say, needs some work...





The new pit stalls at the PDR:





It broke!



The new footbridge:










Lots more to do, just a quick update of where I'm at.

Wow, fantastic! You've been busy. :)

Cool backdrop, too. How did you do that? It looks to have some texture to it.

[dreinecke]

El Kabong - Thanks! The backdrop is painted on the wall over knock-down texture.

Kurt - I don't think it would stick. However, just painting the concrete and doing an easy background like this works fine.

Looking good, I really need to head west one of these days, are you still running AC ?

Dr. Dave,
that sure is cool. nice work and i sure love the theme. i used to follow the trans am around these parts in its heyday when i was in college.
one thing you're missing, tho, scenery-wise, if you were there, since you have broken cars sitting around: "Deck-'em George" (Follmer) landing another haymaker on Pete "Reprehensible" Revson in the pits after the race!
or Swede exploding his 'Cuda's diff again coming off the last corner at Bridgehampton (in particular, 'cause that one happened right in front of me and i had to jump back).
a truly great layout you have there. wish that i could ever do as well. just a little local color if you care.
speedy

Looking Really good Dave, I really like a bit of scenery around a slotcar track.
I reckon you have a touch of Railroad modelling in your Genes somewhere.

[dreinecke]

Thanks gents for the nice comments - wait until I actually get turf down! That should make it pop.

As for the Model RR...I'm really a closed MRR guy that likes to go faster!

what controllers work on AC, or do they need to be modded to work with it ??
