Long Creek Raceway

Track looks like it is coming back together! Nice work! How's the track flow now?

Long time since an update. Decided to remodel other half of garage and make a nice workspace. Got most of foam work done with plaster on a third of it. Definitely needs rubbered in.
As far as flow goes I'm getting the rhythm down. One section needs a tweak though. Pics to follow...

...ok...you've had a few minutes! Stop running laps and give us pictures!

Can't wait to see it.

Well the track is no more. Took it down to make way for a "roval" that I can run 1/24 and 1/32 cars. I did a sloppy job on some of the newer routing and it just didn't turn out the way I wanted. Oh well I enjoy building tracks almost as much as running them.

Wow, you change tracks faster than master Luf! :lol: I was getting into the build of both of those tracks. I'm sure the next one will be amazing too...

So the copper tape bends easily when placing it on the turns >>> TY

I do just like bibbster does. I also "burnish" the tape in with a 4" hard rubber roller that is commonly used for making laminate countertops and cabinets. I've used a bic lighter body before too. I still get a few places that want to pop up but my tracks see a lot of temperature swings in the garage.

The new track will will becoming along soon. I have to finish some remodeling projects around here and I'm having so much fun with the oval! And just picked up a new hakko soldier iron with a pile of brass.... at least I have the sketch done and some lumber leftovers from work
