Heres a photo of my latest Scalextric Goodies but i am still waiting on a pack of Sport Track Radius 1 Curve 45 as they only had one in when i ordered them,but i didn't check to see how many they had there but never mind as i won't be setting anything up till some of my stuff has been moved into the other room.

Heres the photo.

Here's the same track plan with some R3 Curves on the smaller end on both levels after some said why don't i try some R3's instead of having all R2's,and to be honest it does look better and it has increased the running length.

Here's the track plan.

With yet more help on a slotcar forum my layout has progress as it was thought that my view might be blocked on some of the corners from where i will stand,so i have made some changes and now have this design and it is still within the area i will use but if i have it setup over the weekend part of it will have to be removed so i can get into bed as it over hangs my bed by 1ft 5".



And when i come to make the framework it has to be light and easily dismantled into sections to be stored as it won't be a permanent layout.

Done afew more changes to my track plan and they include moving the lower right track inwards from under the upper track so i can see the cars better when going round and not have my view blocked by the upper track,also i have shorten the width to 5ft 2" from 5ft 5" also moved the S/F line further up the track away from the R3 track coming down so that curve can be lifted up alittle to miss the lower track to the left and i think i've got it to how i want it now and now it's just awaiting game till i can get the rest of the track to build it and the timber to build the base for it to sit on.
