track

ok so table top is mostly finished probably few adjustments as time goes on , but is now ready for track layout,
  Althoughi have quite a bit of room i do want to make it very scenic, so therfore wont go crazy with loads of track,

Have supported the two cross over points with mdf an blocks,

So after lots of playing about an swopping an changing,ended up with this layout,but before i make anything permanent will try an live with it for few weeks to see if   any problems arise,      
                                                                              

Had a slow spot where cars almost came to a stop so two wires to jump power and seems to have solved it.

                                        

 Elevated the track furthest away or nearest to back wall 
                                     

this is 3 pics squashed into one to try an get it all in, bit of playing about to see where some buildings  might go, im happy that i got to the stage where i can actualy play with it now so will do a few race nights with my mates to see if the layout will work before i start on any permant features. will also now start to make rest of loft bit more presentable carpet on floor an few other bits an pieces,                                          
                                       

loft update

Ok so bit more work done to the loft got some boards for the table top,few more trim bits to go round edges

then will be able to start planing the track layout,

the loft

Hi all. so heres a little update on the progress of the loft space,
now i was going to use siver bubble on roof joist but decided against it for two reasons 1 will be too hot in summer months and 2 at £20.a roll thought better of it so in the end just used linning paper,

               

                                                                                                                           

once its all coverd wont look too bad and should stop light casting shadows, 

also got some timber to start the table frame work.                                                

tents

I really liked the idea of this marque or garden tent so i set about trying to make one and found a download,

and ended up with this, pic is from a recent table top layout i did for a lads race night, as im still not set up in loft just yet, not easy to see from this pic but is basicaly wooden frame over a paper roof but overall effect is good with picnic table an chairs,
