Materials and Rationale for Building My Own Track:
I am going to attempt the building of a track addition that
will mate to my SCX Digital system track. There are going to be many
obstacles and as far as I know, this has not been done before. If anyone
has mated track or has seen this done, send me the contact info so I
can get assistance.
Motivation:
After I sat down and added the costs of the extra
accessories and track, I decided it was time to find an alternative.
Why?
Cost is the main reason but there's more to the
decision than the money. I wanted to build a realistic track complete with
scenery, buildings, people, hills and a harbor /wharf scene. Every track I
have looked at is flat and boring to look at. Sure the cars go round and
round and I can work on them but I want more...
I
used to build train layouts so I am going to do the same with my raceway.
I wanted a realistic rally / road race set up with trees, grass, towns and
water features (not real water) that really makes the hobby more than just
buying cars and track. My kids are looking forward to it too. They can't
believe I'm doing this and they are surprised at how they don't have the
interest they used to have with their X-Box, PS2 and PS3 systems.
