Hi Pete 🤗Doing the exact same for my carrera track inner and outer borders, but using laminate flooring in 8mm thickness, , can't get plywood or MDF here in my local area 🙄 like living on the moon sometimes 😅 tracks looking great Pete

[@slotr]

Looking good Pete :)

[@slotcardude68]

Getting there!!!!!

[@Patriot_Racing]

Yes, yes, yes.

[@twolinesslotcars]

Looks like the track is coming together! Well done my friend!

[@trackfanstv]

Hey bud, it's an exciting project. Hope all's well ledge, happy new year ahead of tomorrow 😂😂

[@twolinesslotcars]

@@trackfanstv I am working on inexpensive, lap counting hardware.. and I got it working! Will share soon.. will be perfect for your track!

[@SlotCar2021]

My god, the lack of elf and saftey 😂 put a mask on.
Looking good Pete, rough and ready is fine, you need a bit of space between the track for expansion and contraction, way ahead of me on scenery! ❤

[@customslottracks6677]

I changed my track from Scalextric digital to Policar a couple of years ago due to frustration with the continous maintenance required for Scalextric digital and have been doing lots of scenic elements like this. It makes the hobby for me as creates its own world for racing.

[@trackfanstv]

I had a similar experience so, fingers crossed the Policar does better but, so far so good this end. How are you finding yours and, when did you swap over?

[@AudiSlotGarageRaceway]

Nice work Pete coming on nicely 👌 Merry Christmas and happy New Year to all 🙏

[@trackfanstv]

Cheers Dan, hope you're well ledge?

[@Madd_Dadd]

Looking good so far, can’t wait to see what’s next 😊 I’ll be playing around with my little bit of policar track this weekend 😂

[@SlotCarMisfitsofallscales]

Awesome Pete I’m trying to come up with an idea for a layout for Policar track to !

[@robertsale6528]

Looking really good buddy, I've used the same method on my layout and will do the same on the HO track. Top work buddy 👍👍💪💪💪

[@BSslotcars]

Nice layout!! I really like my policar track it's been awesome! I just found out the other day I had a EVA foam floor matt the kind that lock together like a puzzle it was tan but they came in many colors on amazon the matt fit perfect to the track height so you can make boarders or in lays like how you are doing so easy in most any color too! I joined ya!!

[@trackfanstv]

That's a superb idea, I hadn't thought of that stuff, we have it as the missis used it a while back for some for padding around the floor where the weights went ...... I'm going for an interception 💯😂😂

[@michmich536]

Ello super le circuit policar je vais m'acheter le logiciel pour faire mon tracé 😊

[@conquestracingclub]

Nice work Pete I am working on my new layout probably do a time lapse tomorrow

[@trackfanstv]

Yes please, looking forward to seeing that 💯

[@leesslotcars]

Great video Pete! I started doing the same thing today, it all looks much better flush with the track and best of all you can take each module out to work on scenery! Happy New Year buddy!

[@trackfanstv]

Who do you think I got the idea from 😂, you, Slotr and Shane 💯🔥🔥

[@leesslotcars]

@@trackfanstv hey it’s all about sharing knowledge buddy!! Happy new year

[@SlotCarMisfitsofallscales]

I wish Policar would make a layout book !

[@trackfanstv]

Me too, they do recommend to use track designing software called Policar TCad (no relation). I used it to design this layout and it was easier than anything else I've tried and, added bonus, it itineraries the pieces from your design so, you know what to buy 👌🏻

[@donwest5387]

search online for track plans

[@donwest5387]

no straights shorter than 3'. Otherwise, linked curves

[@darrenhall6400]

Pete will you be Screwing the wood to the table. ?

[@trackfanstv]

No mate, just having it loose as it's pretty stable

[@SlotCarMisfitsofallscales]

What size is your layout

[@trackfanstv]

2840x2420mm ideally I need to add 200mm to one side which he 2840x2620mm 👌🏻

[@donwest5387]

fasten the track to the table with tiny finishing nails

[@trackfanstv]

Cheers Dan
