Andyjk 1 Report post Posted January 6 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andyjk 1 Report post Posted January 7 (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 55 Report post Posted January 7 Good use of the cross overs to equalise the lanes. Regards Chas Le Breton (charlesx) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyjk 1 Report post Posted January 7 Thanks Chas, it's seems to have worked out fairly evenly, lap times are almost identical Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyjk 1 Report post Posted January 10 (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!
