Raudi1 and I finally got our track up and running for an afternoon inside. Got around to making a video. We have almost 200 pictures of the creation process if anyone is interested. Keep in mind this is still an initial layout, but we thought we had something good enough to show finally.
Raudi1 has been pestering me to post something so here it is.
We've learned a lot and will continue to work on the track as we race on it and see how racing on it pans out.
Hope you enjoy!

I like the trees and guardrails and color scheme.....I bet when you guys get reverse working with the new mods the tracks will be Marshall-free!

very nice and clean scenery, I really like that.
And a nice little banked curve in the far end, that remind me of a old slotcar track Kai (a member here) had in his basement years ago. the banked curve helps keeping up speed into the straight, I will have that too........
just one thing, a tree on the track without safety around, that was many years ago.

Yup, I have some footage from slightly higher. I'll make a video from it and we'll post that as well.

Yes we have a few more trees and more guardrail to come. Wouldn't want the drivers boycotting our events over unsafe conditions eh.
Guardrail was made from 10/2UF electrical wire. Not sure if you have this in europe, but perhaps you have something similar. Each end was folded back around a screw drilled into the table top. Wire provides a stiff but flexible barrier and comes moulded in grey and copies the profile of Armco pretty well.
