the start of my first track after 35 years

[ecr]

After adding a couple of drivers stations,I started to ad scenery and a wreckers at this
end. A few shelfs were also needed because my car count was starting to take up too
much room on the table. I cut a dresser in half and put the 2 halves under the table to hold
all the stuff and things I started to accumulate.Now the table is starting to get heavy and
harder to roll out from the wall.

After running the first 50ft of track for about a year, I was trying to figure out how and where I could
introduce a second level of straight track so I could make better use of the modified,kit bashed and
red can motor cars.


This is what It has evolved into now with PM controllers a Sinometer HY-3005 D-2 DC power
supply to run each side separate (so our grandkids can also use it )and 6 wire taps to stop voltage
drops on the 75 feet of race track. OH yes and my car count is up in the 60s and climbing slowly.

Thanks for looking

What a cool progression, you made some great improvements. Many of us came back after years of absence and have stuck around mostly because of Harry and this forum,it's a great place and good people. Jim

Thanks guys
the table is 13ft 5inches by 4ft 10 inches and has real close to 75ft of track and really
keeps you busy trying to beat the clock or another driver.I had to install another caster in the
center to hold the extra weight of the tower and power supply because it all has to roll out from
the wall as one unit.

Thoughts of another addition to the track keep running through my brain .
Have been wanting more straight stretch for a while now.
Gotta work it out in my head first, how to expand and still be able to roll the
table out from the wall. Hmmmmmm. :think:

Thanks bigman
I'm glad you like it,the large circle was made so the driver could
check his time on the monitor in the middle as he drove around it.
Turns out that if you take your eyes off your car for that long she's
gone ! Oh yea we drift em magnets and all.
Thanks
