These are my brothers two tracks, set up on a flipping table so he could have two tracks in one space. It uses 1X4's for framing with a 1" steel pipe that gives support and created the point to flip at. It is 4' X 20'. The first two pics are the routed HO track that is three lanes in this configuration and can be turned into a 6 lane bent oval by taking out a section and adding another. The others are of our first attempt to build a banked turn and then the finished product of the whole three lane 1/32 track. Great racing in either scale. My brother did most of the work on his Ho track, and I helped with both banked curves of the 1/32 and he filled out the rest.

Nice.....
Any other construction pictures?

I was going to post more but found I am just about at my picture limit without putting them somewhere else... which I may have to do... Here is a pic of both of the bank turns being set up. We started with two U shaped 4 X 8 curves and pulled the ends together to get the banks. The one that you can only see the ends of has about a 15-20 degree angle in the banking and the other side you can see has about a 10-15 degree banking.

rodstruy, Awesome layouts! I am thinking of doing the same type idea with both HO and 1/32. Any detail you can provide on routing the HO? Is it copper tape or Rails? Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim

Jimbo,

We basically used the method of using rebar tie wire from the wooden track link on Greg Brauns website. I built a router base out of 1/4" lexan with rollers to follow the outside of a cut out and along the outside straight edge, and used a follower jig to do the next inner slots. Got router bits from Routerbit world . com using two passes for the guide slots or you heat up the bits and they break. If you have any questions just ask and I'll answer what I can. Thanks for the complements. They are great tracks to race on too.

Jimbo,

Check your E-mail, I sent pics and some info for you...

with apologies to Napoleon Dynamite......

Flippin' Sweet!

Thanks Rodstrguy, very much appreciated.
