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.

I love puttering with gears

Welcome Kym,

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