A New Level

The building of the first level (and possibly the start of the helix but plans change during construction) has commenced.

Thinking of various ways of doing this, I decided on a framework from wood. Later on these frames will be painted to a glossy black finish. It also leaves room to extend it into a helix or do some other fancy stuff with the layout.

For now, here is the result...(i know, it is time to take the xmas decorations down)

checking the height

and again, checking the height

testing the ramp

see if it fits

completed the first circle

just looked pretty

scaring the driver

plenty of space for extra track

sometimes simple things work best

ramp testing

some more measuring

that's more like it


wtf?!?
my trusty old diesels and a dodgy piece of scenery

now just find these things in black...
