Datto's new routed track

Datto Datto 6 years ago

Well, I have been jonesing for some track time since the lockdown. I had been kicking around the idea of a 2 lane routed track that would breside at Hiedi's Dad's house in SA. There is a large, open air-conditioned sun-room. Still playing around with actual track layouts a bit, but the footprint is pretty much set. I will probably build all three tables, and do some prototyping with cardboard for finalizing the route. Below should be a photo of table#1, and a scribble of the layout. I will be bringing it into a vector program to refine the idea. Routing will not be CNC.

Yes, that is a routing fence.  I have two so you can put them together to make one long run.  Let me know if you want to borrow them.

I would avoid any squeeze but that's just my opinion.

Marty! You are a prince! It that a routing fence in the bottom pic?

Beginning to play with the shape of the lanes. I keep going back and forth on whether to have a bit of a squeeze at the chicane.

I love that design.  That looks like it will be a very fun track to run.  Let me know if you need any slot car specific tools to help with the routing.  I can't wait to see it running.

Cool!  Looks like a good  layout.  Good luck with it!
