L Thanks As a new member to Slotracer.online I did the introduction and mentioned that I had two 4 lane analogue layouts at home. As I was asked to post some photos, here goes....  The Routed Raceway. My first track we built. 4 lane analogue, slot Routed into MDF. Cooper tape for power pick up. Surface painted with Ultra smooth masonry paint. Power via a Fusion PS201 adjustable power supply. 5 - 15 volts, so good for all classes and levels of racers. Timing/ Lap scoring via a DS 300 Pro series lap counter and Stop & Go boxes, using DS hand controllers. Design brief - This track folds against the back wall, so had to be flat. Mounted on a board 4.39 metres long, 1.80 metres wide, and lifted via an electric winch. Track design - Fast , flowing, easy for all to use. No pinch points. Theme - 1960's style racetrack. Goodwood themed buildings. All scenery other than fencing has to be easily removed and stored. Lane lengths - inside 32ft 11, outside 37ft 8. Big difference but mainly negated by the way the lanes drive. Red is hardest, the others very even. Skill required - Much more than I have! Designed between myself and best mate Andy. All the clever technical bits by Andy, who is by trade a Handy Man. He has all the tools, all the skill, and can do anything. If you want to to do a layout similar to this I can not stress the importance of having an Andy!! Apparently other versions are available, like Dave, Colin, or similar  |
