I'm planning on setting up an Oak Creek 36 on a door, I wanted to play with elevation and scenery options. I made this small scale track to get a feel for how the full size track will look. The road is printed on paper, glued to a file folder then cut out. I sculpted three layers of 3/16 foam, colored the whole thing with Magic Markers, then glued down the track. Whole thing took 1 hour. Tell me what you think!

That is really trick.

You should buy one of those clear cases for 1/24th scale model cars and mount it inside. Would make a neat conversation piece.

I'm still having trouble getting a good feel for the track layout. Can you add some lil cars to it? :)

Seriously though, that is awesome. :thumbsup:

Not at all, quite flattered. Goodness knows I'm gonna steal my share of good ideas once I start construction.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Besides a great little mock up, the layout looks like it will be fun to run as well. :thumbsup: rr
