Hi

I have just joined the Forum after reading many posts on here for some time.
We were gifted a Scalextric track back in the 70's consisting of a oval track, Austin Healy and Mercedes 190
Many years later the track had been expanded to cover the whole of our lounge/dining area floor.
Los of fun with my brothers, dad, uncle and friends.
After leaving home the set was used by my brothers who managed to damage or lose a great deal of it.
I was re united with what was left in my mid 20s.
About 18 months ago I opened up the box which had been in storage for 35 plus years only to find most of the old classic track had gone brittle and was falling apart.
I have since purchased a few used sets including a couple of digital sets.
Having installed a wind down storage rack in my garage and temporarily covering it with some peg board and cardboard to build my first layout.
Once I have decided on a final layout I will cover the rack with plyboard and make the track permanent.
Looking forward to many hours of fun and interaction.

Attached a photo of my first layout but open to suggestions and changes.

Thanks 
Kym

Welcome.

Once I build and try out a layout, I soon find myself tweeking it here and there. I like mine to have a certain flow to them, but I can only find that with my trigger finger rather than by eye.

Welcome Kym,

Maybe the adding of some outer borders improves the race sensation for both lanes. 
Good luck testing your circuit.
