    Thanks for watching and commenting, I truly am the lucky one not only did my wife like it she happily put this video together.

    Great vid and cool track You were building more than a slot car track, you were building great memories for your children. Well done.

  • @Richard1855

    One word - AWESOME to describe this project. Apart from that, Brian Stoner, you and your children will; years down the track look back at this project with fond memories. Also be glad and grateful that all of you spent quality time together which can never be repeated. Good on you all.

    Thanks for the plug neighbour, can't wait to finish the hill climb track so we can race. video of the build will follow. Thanks Lloyd.

    WHAT A " WAY COOL" FATHER !
    These children are having the time of their lives helping build this AWESOME toy, and they are building a "mountain" of self esteem that will serve them well their entire life.
    GOOD ON YOU DAD !

      Couldn't have put it any better. I agree with Fireman Fritz. So cool for children to have a dad this talented and watching his kids see the whole project come to life. What an inspiration to all of us. Super track design! and great video.

      And when it breaks they're going to fix it. Imagine all the little lessons in repair. I'm a carpenter and started out fiddling with slot cars and 049 cox airplanes long ago. Was fixing things before I ever saw a wood shop. Solder nails and epoxy sort of gets in your blood.

      Rock solid way to raise kids right here come up with a plan and see it through. While some might just see a toy it is so much more than that. Time spent with your kids is never wasted!

  • @EssisDaddy00
    @EssisDaddy00 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'll second that - great seeing the kids involved - of course, the BIG kids had to take over!!

    That is one of the most awesome things I've seen yet! Letting the kids be part of the building is just, well, "awesomer!"

  • @AnneBlanchard
    @AnneBlanchard 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    this is nothing short of amazing. just a few saturday mornings with the kids helping out and you're done!!! no really, i can't imagine how much prep time this took. i'd love to see a second youtube video: "the making of CUSTOM MADE SLOT CAR TRACK BUILDING. MOUNTAIN ROAD COURSE". for all of us want-to-bees, we would eat it up. bravo!!!!

  • @docfischer7291
    @docfischer7291 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That’s awesome that you were able to include the children in such a wonderful project . I used to make dioramas all the time for my HO tracks . Next house is a basement and garage, the build will be on.

  • @dennismartin8966
    @dennismartin8966 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Coolest, best slot car track I've ever seen!! Hat's off to you Brian for including your family. It's time spent with you that they'll probably never forget... Fun to watch. Blessings to you and yours!

  • @jazzysnaps
    @jazzysnaps 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    What a great project , the boys were involved , and they will remember this for all their lives and relate this time to their father bonding.

  • @anon420jw
    @anon420jw 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome job Brian. I just set up a SCX analog track 36 feet. Takes up more space than I thought it would but oh well. The track stays in the living room till I can come up with a better idea.

  • @tomb374
    @tomb374 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great job on the layout. I especially like the elves you were able to scare up for a little help... That had to be a very enjoyable time.

  • @scottyq66
    @scottyq66 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    By far the most enjoyable track building post I've seen so far!.. The work in the track and the layout is fantastic. Best part for me is seeing the kids involved and the pleasure they had performing their elven duties.. Thanks alot for sharing!

  • @robertholts2014

      @modslot 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Virtual SlotCars Thanks for watching and commenting, I check out "Virtual Slotcars" very cool if you look at my channel to can see another track build that is more like a proper race track.

  • @LiveMusicOntario
    @LiveMusicOntario 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was into 1/32 scale 50 years ago :-) We learned so many skills at young age from building bodies and chassis from bits of plastic and various metals that we fabricated into finished racers. Hardly anything was ''out of the box'' except the controllers.

  • @jeffbascome9708
    @jeffbascome9708 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great project! Your kids are fortunate to have you. The engineering, layout, and skill to execute is admirable.

  • @MrDluka87
    @MrDluka87 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Loved all the decorations pal. Would have loved to see the racetrack painted however to finish it off

  • @mikeday62
    @mikeday62 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great when kids get to see what they are capable of building while having fun! Good job!

  • @modslot
    @modslot 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The trees are made by dipping a piece of tie wire in glue then put individual pieces of moss on. It takes me about 1hr to build 10 trees so it is a good project for a rainy day. The track has about 130 trees so far, it needs about 500.
    Cheers, Brian.

  • @robertoarkenburg6652
    @robertoarkenburg6652 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    This looks amazing! You are a very skilled model maker and an awesome parent for sharing this cool hobby with your children. I hope someday I’m lucky enough to have enough space for something like this in my home.

  • @wordreet
    @wordreet 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Woohoo! That's a very nice layout, the unequal lane widths give more realism to the racing. Hey! A cheap labour force! Well, cheapish. But I like the way you kept the light colour of the track surface, it makes the whole room easier on the eye. Good job you guys!

  • @wasatchrangerailway6921

  • @thegt3clickcrash329
    @thegt3clickcrash329 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Incredible ! Projects like this are a lot harder to do than most think. The amount of detail alone is just so damn cool. The kids helped and did a great job !

  • @MrRichinil
    @MrRichinil 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    very nice work,and love that the kids were involved.have to giggle at one of the lil guys name though. did anyone else catch it ? Keith Stoner smiles

  • @killerswitch621
    @killerswitch621 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just awesome ,when i read custom made track,i didn't expect to to see that you actually built 100% of the track,no push together plastic tracks ,that makes it so good where the lanes get close together for a little bump an nudge an possible wipe out im very impressed,have only seen another total custom where you could make the cars slot pin longer an car could not come of track it would spin full 360 or more an you could keep racing was great for children,,,you an the ales should be proud an have many years of fun ahead an so will anyone else an if sold them aswell

  • @pg1171
    @pg1171 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    WOW! FANTASTIC! Good video, great job building the track, and including the kids...Just can't say enough! Fabulous job! Great track! Wish I had the room to do something like this. My kids are older, but they would love doing something like this! Fantastic! 246 dislikes? LOOSERS! Keep up the great work!

    @Muttlydog45 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    A really cool set up, its the best way with slot cars is to have it fixed down, if your lucky enough to have the space, anyway a great time can be had with a few tinnies and some mates or the family, well done

  • @gammarotor
    @gammarotor 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome track man.I love the lines of it. It has a very real look to it.It looks less like a "Slot track" and more like a scale diorama. Really cool!!!.I bet you could get some very realistic photos while racing.

    @Fantwatstic 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had a mate build a track in the late 70s, he managed to get hold of some refrigerator filler in a can, cos his dad sold fridges. Anyway this filler made excellent mountains. These days you can buy builders filler in aerosols I bet that would make some nice mountains

    We still have a slot car place near me and every year since I was 5 my dad and I go for a couple of hours and even after all these years he still beats me lol.. I really do believe that slot cars will come back into popularity and with newer and much faster cars. Thanks for sharing this with us 🙏

    The copper comes from stained glass supply store, it has an adhesive backing, just peel and stick. There is a tool from oldslotracer that lays it down perfectly, he also sells a router guide to cut the 1/8" slot. Thanks for watching!
