Attached are some photos of my track, its most unusual, its made from believe it or not,
foamboard ! with foam insulation 1" thick as a base. I was going to build a routed wood
track, but our local hardware store did not have anything suitable, so I started looking for
alternative, and came up with the crazy idea of foamboard which to my amazement,
actually worked. I built it in 4 days, and so far, after 2 years, its still working perfectly.
Don't know how grip level is comparred to wood, but the cars slide very nicely on the
painted surface ! People on the track are all police or fireman re-painted from our $1
store or from the Homie figure range.
I do plan on constructing a 'proper' permanent wood track soon, based on either the
Targa or the Mille Miglia, or combination, larger, with more elevation change and more
fast corners, and maybe a railway crossing just
for fun, if possible.
