Finished the baseboard for the track. I’m going to cut it down the middle to make storage easier (it’s pretty heavy in one piece also) I’ve got removable castors so it can be stood up and wheeled into the garage for storage. Just laying out the track to get an idea of a layout.

There you go, all finished. I’m actually really pleased with the way it’s turned out. The board splits in half and with removable/lockable castors, stands up in the garage out of the way. 👍

Very good but looks a bit twisty so will benefit the Porsche rather than a Cobra Daytona!

True, there's only so much track you can fit on an 8 x 4 board!
