Good morning guys, I'm having a hard time coming up with a design for my upcoming layout. I'm working with limited space........ which sucks......but that's ok. I'm thinking of building a table that's either 5' X 5' or a 5' X 6'. I still want to be able to move around in the room....since I have some custom shelving built and etc. on the walls.
I have tons of Tyco track.....BUT, I know the Tomy stuff is supposedly better.....so I'm hoping to use that instead. I already have one person that had a monster layout (seperate powered lanes,24' straightaway) that isn't using his track......and has said he'd hook me up for whatever track pieces I'd need.
For the design of the track I'd like to keep it somewhat simple.......I don't want a whole lot of curves..nice straights for speed...and I'd like to incorporate an overpass (I'd like to landscape an overpass :thumbsup: ) I'd also possibly like a pit area.......although I'm not sure how a pit area works...since you can't steer the cars in exactly.
I know this all probably sounds vague....... but I'm kinda lost on a design. I've searched HOslotcarracing.com ....and he has a couple ideas that I semi like......but I figured I'd come here and ask you guys for ideas and opinions....
All opinions,ideas, and suggestions are welcome! :thumbsup:
