Newbie Track Design - poker_jake - 21st-Jan-21

I was going to build a model train set but slot cars sounded much more fun. I bought the Scalextric Platinum Pro set and currently trying to design a track. My available space is 10'x5.5'. Here is one of the designs.

If you wedge the track base into a corner you may find it hard to retrieve deslotted cars.

Our club put lane changers at the ends of straights rather than the middle as the cars are going slower at that point and it helps keep the cars flowing rather than having to slow down mid straight.

And the lane changer on the bridge amongst all those corners and ramps might be a challenge in the heat of a race.

Hope these comments help.

Welcome to SlotRacer Poker Jake.

That's a very cool looking design. You should try it out and see how it works. Please post pics. Thumbup

One good thing is it can be changed if you don't like how the cars perform in the inaccessible corner.

Thanks for the replies. I thought about that corner, that's why I went wide to a tighter turn. Hopefully it works out, the set should be here tomorrow. I wish there was a parts list of what's in the set so I could order the missing pieces. I found 2 of the c7007 after I found out they were discontinued.
