My 4lanes tyco track : Riverside USA mirrored version - demether - 31-07-2009

Hi,



I'm building a 4lanes tyco racing track.



The layout is based on Riverside USA, but in a sort of "mirror" version. It lenght is above 12.50meters.

For the power supply, I use a 14volt 8amp pro power supply, with fuse :

And I painted some indications for marshalling in the corners (using "standard colors in competition). The same colors are used for the controlers plugs , and for the racing software.

For lapcouting and timing, I use Slotrace manager, the best software around (in my opinion). Don't be fooled by the DOS graphics, it's the most precise, fast , ergonomic and usable software I tested. And, as it's running under DOS, I can setup a race in less than 30seconds, without using mouse.

Here's some pics of the track, on the current state of building :

I made the borders in foam, hardened with PVA glues (3 coats) and black acrilyc paint (2 or 3coats). I made 3 power tapes on the track. I use 45ohm parma controllers, but I'll swap the resistors to 60ohm ones soon, in the next weeks I think.









Next step : I'll have to paint the mouting screws of the track, and then I'll start the scenery, wich is my favorite work (and, actually, sometimes my "real" work : [url="http://demether.scenics.free.fr"]http://demether.scenics.free.fr[/url] )





I'll post the next steps soon, I hope.





regards,



dimitri









ps : BTW, here's a main view of my slot room :

Für alle anderen Forumsteilnehmer:

Dimitri entschuldigt sich nochmals, dass er in Englisch schreibt, weil er kein Wort Deutsch kann (ausser "Achtung" und "Polizei").

Das langt doch. Man sollte sich noch "bezahlen" merken. <img src='http://www.h0slot.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />





Hi Dimitri,



great track! I can't wait to see the landscape!!

Espacially if it is done by a 1:1 specialist. <img src='http://www.h0slot.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />





Kind regards

For now, I worked almost in 1/32 scale, and a little in 1/43 and 25mm (wargame terrains). I only had made a 1/72 WW2 village a few years ago. So it will be almost my first time in h0 scale <img src='http://www.h0slot.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />
