Preemo,

Finally I've fond some time where my camera and computer have been in the same place at the same time. Here's the photos of my power tracks that I promised you.

It's Tomy AFX 15'' straights, with 1mm tru-rip (light gauge speaker wire) wire soldered to the terminals. Tru-rip is dirt cheap and plenty fat enough to run slot cars properly, Jaycar will sell you a 30m roll for about $16 (http://www.jaycar.co.nz CAT. NO. WB1703). To solder to the track, 1st get a wet towel on lay the track on that. This is a rather important step that the first time I did this I didn't take into account, and it went a pear shaped. I used a rosin cored lead solder and a solder flux the first time, and it worked alright. The second time I used silver solder, it sticks to the rails at a lower temperature so less chance of melting the plastic track.

I've used a Molex 4 pin connector to let me have a bit of flexibility when changing my track around, but in hindsight I think I'd just use a piece of chocolate block (or strip connector as I think it's called these days). I'd also make the wires about 30cm longer.

I can't show you any photos of the power distribution block as my tracks currently in pieces as I move workshops. I set it up the same way as recommended by hoslotcarracing.com using strip connector. I'm looking to make it an integrated circuit to keep it nice and tidy.
