Harry, I am glad Boone mentioned to watch your videos. I could watch your content all day. Great info and easy to watch and understand. Loved seeing the track modification. I also have Carrera track.
Ohh wow I didn't know Boone mentioned me 🫢 Danny I'm so sorry I'm only getting back to you now...I'm not getting notifications on my phone lately...Thank you for your kind comments, very much appreciated. I can't believe your comment sat here for 6 days unanswered 😯 sorry fellow slotcar fan 🙏...Harry
Thanks 🤗...yes I had to do it because I just couldn't get a piece this short so at least I know its now possible to do . Appreciate you watching and commenting 🤗...Harry
Hi Harry, nice job, it just goes to show that you don't have to stick with what you buy in the box, and the finnised item looked great, I bet there isn't too many people who would of done that, take care......... Colin 😊
Thanks Colin...I really wanted to show you don't need computer software to design a track ...any gap in a track can be filled to complete the section .thanks for watching mate 👍
I did run into the same problem with my lay out. I needed a smaller piece than a 1/4. honestly I am surprised that Carrera does not offer smaller pieces for the perfect fit thx 4 the video
Yes it would be great if they offered a 1/8 piece ,I'm sure a lot of people would find it the perfect finishing piece for many circuits . Thank you for watching and commenting 👍...Harry
Great video Harry :-) I do this with my old Fleischmann track by simply sawing through the whole track piece. Works fine. A trick for your method for cutting the rails would be to keep them in place while cutting by some masking tape.
Hi yes that's a good idea to hold the rail in place .now I know how to do it I don't need to worry about having to cut the track again . I know a fine toothed saw could do this easily but hadn't one available at the time 😊,thank you for watching and commenting 👍..Harry
Well done Harry, great video and I'll be having a go when I think I'll be able to make as good a job as you. Oh what about the track perimeter pieces you get, i suppose you can do the same?? More tips please. Regards Michael 👍 Harry, the exterior overuns on the corner sections that clip on the outside of the track. 👍
Hello Michael , thank you ,I'm happy it didn't turn into a disaster 🤭🤣 I don't understand you question about track (perimeter) maybe you can rephrase it ... Thank you for watching and commenting.🤗...Harry
Nice work Harry! Sometimes you have to change plans and make adjustments. Clever to cut the piece to fit. I am glad to hear you sorted the pipe issue as well! Stay warm!! Cheers!
Thanks Dave 😊 minus 32 degrees yesterday so it was perfect to get it fixed that morning 🥶I'm really happy I got the track piece done as it was my first time to try , always good when a plan works out 🤗 thanks Dave 🙂👍
I am happy it might have helped in some way ☺️ sorry for the late reply... I never got the message notification. Thank you for watching and commenting... Harry
Thank you very much 😊 It's great when an idea works and filming it makes you try that little bit harder 🤣 at least for the future I know I can do it again if needed . Thanks for watching and commenting mate 👍...Harry
Harry, I am sure you know that you could have purchased a quarter straight that is 3.4 inches long from Carrera. I have 3 of these quarter straights on my Scalextric track.
Hi Dave, 🤗I have quarter straights ,this was way shorter than that, more like an eight and also not equal on both sides .Carrera definitely don't do anything remotely similar...its a pity they don't do a 1/8 straight, I'm sure it would be very useful for many track builders 👍 thanks for watching and commenting 👍...Harry
Thank you 🙂It would be a big job to remove all the rails and very difficult to get them all connected properly afterwards. I would definitely just mark them off to 🤗 thank you for watching and commenting 👍
Lol, I wonder sometimes do people see my channel name and don't even tune in because they expect latvian ... I'm happy for your comment because maybe I should put (English language)somewhere in the title photos 🤔 glad it was helpful and zi appreciate you watching and commenting 👍...Harry
aye no worries , im waiting for my new pieces to arrive and give it a try.got a dremel,got glasses,got hot glue, steady hand... hmmm. i doubt!@@Scale_Slotcars_Latvia

Great video Harry, Boone did something similar with Scalextric track last year. Thanks for sharing buddy 👍👍👍
Ohh Boone did it ...I bet way better than my effort 🫢 I'll be watching a lot of his posts soon as I get to scenery 🙂thank you for watching Rob 👍

What a coincidence, I'm cutting a Carrera track using a Dremel cutoff wheel, and a small (9") table top bandsaw.
Ahh cool 😎 I hope it all works out good for you, the proper tools always make it so much easier. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂..Harry
awesome.God bless.

Oh man I have a couple of gaps on my track that this would fix. I’ve got plenty of extra straight pieces!

I understand now Harry. You need a 1/8 straight. Good job on cutting it from a longer straight. You are very talented.
Thanks Dave ...I blunder my way through stuff 🤭don't look too close 😂
Great video. It makes me wonder why people mask the rails when they paint their track. Why not just remove the rails,paint then reinstall?
Thank you 🙂It would be a big job to remove all the rails and very difficult to get them all connected properly afterwards. I would definitely just mark them off to 🤗 thank you for watching and commenting 👍
there`s me thinking subtitles on ... thx fella. appreciate the tips on making fish plates (model railway fan as well) clamp on rail.
