welcome

Hi all,
  i just love racing scalextric,but biggest problem is setting up an after couple of days either on living room
floor or kitchen table you haveto pack it all away, so what most of us dream about is a permanent set up in garden shed or the loft,
 Here is a set up on the wifes kitchen table, so as you can imagine about four days is the limit before she wants her table back,

   so the point of this blog is to track the progress of my loft conversion to a permanent set up of my circuit,
now  also because i am a husband an father to four children this will also be done on a budget, the best results i can get as cheaply as possible,  now everything is bought either on e bay carboot sales, or made myself, so hopefully this project will give you good ideas to  either copy or expand on to make your own track.

things im going to cover with pics an video if poss will be
1 the loft conversion
2 table top
3 track layout
4 scenery landscape

Ok so here we have the loft area, that beam going across is about waist height an from that beam back to the wall is just over six foot an from left to right is 13 foot also from the right side comming out this way is about 7 foot so we will end up with an L circuit,

first thing is lighting i mannaged to get an 8 foot long flourescent tube light free as a freind was replacing his lights in his workshop, i love that word free, and hopefully will be able to say it lots on this project,

also when i lifted up insulation very lucky the floor was allready boarded so this lagging will go in between the roof joists behind silver bubble wrap which will also help with lighting.
