some pix of my track half tyco/tomy,it will eventually feature a wide radius,hand routered kurve at the far end(pix#3).main srt is 17.25 ft long.the elavations will be greater than seen in these pix.mountainous,with one or two tunnels at the near end.

That's a very unique layout. :thumbsup: Just wondering why the need to route a section though? Do you have something planned that can't be done with sectional track? You know, doing just the one section "could" get a little addictive ( lol )... With that kind of a tease you just may end up wanting to do the whole track in wood!!! ;) nd

The long and winding road. Cool!

The road course is my fav.

That out door one is neat!

thanx guys!!your exactly right tjd,i'm afraid that the hand routered portion will lead to other things later on!however,even though i have a background in wood working, im still aproaching that part with some caution.the two kurves making up that part(all one piece) will have about a 36.25" radius:1/4 of a circle coming out of the final 18" tomy section,then a 17.5" straightaway leading to the final 1/4 circle dumping into the main straight.that whole leg was at first intended to be free form/hand drawn kidney shaped type deal,which may still happen depending on how well things go; what is seen here was layed out fairly quickly mit a stick and a sharpie marker compass,then blue taped fer der pix!scott, the indoor pix show the same layout but with the more drastic elevat.changes that i will use on the finished track.

Bk I knew they were the same , I just was thinking how cool it would be to have one set up outside on a sunny day with a breeze blowing , a grille going, some good friends and a couple of cold ones to drink ! Enjoy !
