Hi folks just thought I'd post a preliminary floor setup I'm thinking of raising up on a table. It will be slightly longer than photo shows at around 44 feet. Its got a mixture of 12 large radius 21" curves and 13 or so sections of 14" radius. I bought it on Craigslist a few weeks ago from a guy who got it new in 1969. Its in almost new condition. I had to buy the 21" radius sections on Etsy as NOS and they were $30 a box + shipping but I like old stuff, so what can you do.
What do you think about a 25-35-45 ohm Parma economy controller for this setup?
I will probably use a 12v, 3.5 amp regulated PS I have somewhere. The Revell transformer that came with it has wild voltage swings. Track is too fast for 1 car, to slow for 2.
Maybe a set of lane changers? and I think I'll raise the large curved section at left up 3-4" for some elevation change.
I'd appreciate your thoughts..this is new stuff to me...Dave :)
