Hi Gang :wave:
Its been a while since I posted, due to work and health issues (again). Heres a pic of the track we "rescued" late last summer from the local raceway here in Daytona. Its a 6 lane Tomy layout built by Greg Walker in the early 1990's. Many local, state and national races have been run on it over the years. He needed room for a new track, I made him a cash offer, and he took it. The track is built in 1 piece, making moving it kinda difficult. its 4 feet wide at its widest point, and 18 feet 9 inches long. Its wired for brakes, and TrakMate. Since we got the track home, the TM has been puttin scenery on it. Pics of scenery to come. Whaddya Think?

This pic was taken at "the Race Place" just before the big move.

I think it's great Larry. Nothing better for the old ticker than some good old fashioned racing...(ok well maybe a few meds too). Seriously though, it's awesome. Looks like a real slick smoothie too. Keep us updated with the "scenic details". I'm gonna post my new layout pretty soon too. It's still too naked right now. dave

Hi Dave
Thanks for the kind words. Now I have 10 lanes of track! Heres a shot of the Ticket Booth. Found it on "that auction site" from seller acol, he has this and several other buildings from time to time.

For the tech shack I used a picnic set made by Bachmann, item #42213. Found it in the HO railroad section at HobbyTown. It also comes with a block BBQ grille, 3 picnic tables, and trash cans.

White building w/Red roof is the souvenir stand. That building can from a 3 building set, railroad shanties, I think.

My TM added a kids playground near the Grandstands. This was another train accessory.

The haulers are old matchbox ones from the late 80's/early 90's. Some have been converted into running slot cars. :)

Not sure where she found the truck, but the picnic tables came from the "tech shack" set.

Ah so YOU were the guy buying up ACOL's stuff on fleabay! :p I have another post somewhere with some of his listings and the big bucks he was getting on some of it.

Cool track. Very cool. :thumbsup:

The grille, picnic tables and water pump ate from the "tech shack" set. God only knows where the trailers came from. I'll ask her when she gets home. The small building is one of 3 in the "Trackside Shanties" set, found at Hobby Town.

Larry,

That track layout looks is great. But I'm interested to know where did you get the Wendell Scott poster from? I would love to have one on my wall.

Larry,
Great looking layout. Looks like a fun runner as well. :thumbsup: rr

Larry- Nice layout-she looks fast. Nice to have a TM that is into landscaping. The infield looks great! If you ever get down to WPB (Jupiter), let me know.
