Hi all
After a little gap due to ill health for me and my little boy, and a house move, job move, Xmas and stuff getting in the way I'm just about ready to start planning an install in out garage for a full time track.
We have a normal (UK) sized single garage which ideally I'd like to have a track drop from the sky on a board ready and setup for use as and when
Size wise I have roughly 9' x 7' of clear floor/air space to play with, rest of the space is for slot car display/storage, boxes, tools, bikes and usually garage stuff.
I 'may' have the budget to motorise the drop and lift otherwise it'd be a pulley system
Loads of questions around how I could stabilise the board when it lowers (to stop it swinging), what board to use, has anyone done this before with a motorised drop and lift, best way of protecting track when it's not in use etc
Appreciate this is a bit vague and a lot of questions but thought I'd ask for advise before steaming headfirst into something.
Cheers
Rob
