Andyjk Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hey guys, been a few years since I've been on here I started a hoisted track with scenery in about 2015 and life got in the way, moved houses etc etc...anyway the track was taken down and dissasmbled. Here's a link to the old build for those interested: Fast forward to 2021, have a new garage, which means a new track. My gear had been sitting in boxes in the roof for years and its time to put it to use. I'm doing a considerably smaller track, only 6ft by 4ft. I couldn't find a great deal of examples of such a small track so though I better document it. Anyway, here it is so far. It's nice and light and I can lift and manoeuvre it on my own. Aim is to keep it as light as possible so I probably won't go with much scenery. It will end up being hoisted to the ceiling. Once I figure out hot to insert a damn image, I'll do it hahah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaynus Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Looks like it works to me - I can see the photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjk Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Awesome thanks mate. Anyway, it's a simple pine frame with 4mm marine ply and thin galvanised channel bracing on the back. I would like to add some scenery, but it would most like be painted surfaces and track banners on the frame. There won't be any frocks this time!

charlesx Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Good use of the cross overs to equalise the lanes. Regards Chas Le Breton (charlesx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjk Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Thanks Chas, it's seems to have worked out fairly evenly, lap times are almost identical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjk Posted January 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) I cleaned up my track as best I could but couldn't bring it back to anything that resembled a new track (wasn't surprised) so decided to give the copper tape a go. Works really well and has made a big difference Also picked up these 5 cars second hand fairly cheap that need a little TLC, but are otherwise fine!

charlesx Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hi Andyjk. Last Scaly track I built had copper tape. A very worthwhile addition. Car were so smooth. Regards Chas Le Breton (charlesx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
