I know its trains not cars but this is a good shot of one of my old home layouts. Just to give you guys an idea on what modeling background I have, as I'm definately a novice in the slotcar world.

Here is a few shots of the layout I currently have (since sunday). Happy with a few of the elements, like the compunding curve under the raised section. :D
Unhappy about the loops, but the kids wanted them in :twisted:

Here is a computer generated plan of the layout, used Slotman program.

I have reversed the overpass, for visibility from operating area.

Each lane length is 17.58m.

Any thoughts, comments welcome.

Yes. I like the hairpins too! Have 3 of them, but didn't want to over do the tight track thing.

Upon studying the layout at home, I discovered my plan was a wee bit wrong! Damn memory!

Here is the real plan for the layout. Each lane is 17.88m.

Here's some pics of my layout as it stands at the moment, excuse the mess. I'm trying to get it supported properly to lock it down.

Ham1200's track and some cars. Nice portable track that fits under a single bed.
