Track, Layouts & Scenery | Forum profile

Thanks for the the respond pinto girl. I just purchased a Scale Buildings grandstand from Svanaken. It was what I was looking for. I'm going to build a NASCAR short oval modeled from the mid to late sixties era. It will be the first time I pulled the throttle on a slot car since I played with my brothers Eldon, Marx and Stombecker sets back in the sixties.

Most basements will have some water seepage between the foundation and the bottom of the basement walls, especially when it rains, and especially on older houses. That is why most of them have either floor drains, sumps or both. A dehumidifier is great for keeping things dry. I have a lot of books in my basement and it keeps these books from smelling like they were stored in a basement. All those other things that one applies to basement walls...

Hey just do yourself Buy the best Carrera and forget all hooplaa!!!

Thanks, 2fer! Yeah, I'll probably make some small things to place around the track. There are some great snack shacks on carrera4fun.de that could do with some building. I also want to do something for my pits, but my next track won't have room for actual pit garages, so I'm thinking of doing something like the Fly pit walls/booth things.

This is probably very bad advice, unless your basement is warm, A/C will not do a good job of removing moisture from it. It has to do with the dew point, relative humidity, and specific humidity. In other words you'll just make it colder, and damper feeling. You will probably also make it easier...

Cool, how much shorter did you make it slotdrift? I've been toying with a few well placed classic crossovers as there is a clear advantage if you take the outside lane on the circuit. I think I need one more digital crossover on the mountain straight to give it some added excitement. I'm eagerly awaiting the new scaley powerbase so I can get a computer hooke dup and show lap times. only problem, is where to put the screeen. BT

Im purely using scalextric sport, too poor to go digital at the moment, i cut down some long straights just so i could fit it in the space i have.

Way back on my first computer, I used to have a version of this program to design tracs, but now i can't find it....I was wondering if anyone knows where i can get it?

You can run carrera in a rain forest end

To much Humidity or to little are both problems. TO much and you can have mold problems. A deHumidifier isn't all tha texpensive adn you can set it up to drain into a sump hole or even a drain. running a small fan will keep the air moving. Too as I mentioned earlier putting a dust cover over a track, inexpensive yet very efficinet Painters Plastic (it comes in giant rolls) with a small incadescent lamp, even the night light/Christmas tree...
