The fun with things like that is in the design and build stage, once it's done and you've had a play it loses some of it's attraction.
Good effort though!

My in-laws bought us a set for Christmas a couple of years back because my mrs was apparently mentally scarred as a child by not having one
We (I) have added a few bits of track over the last couple of years and bought the odd car. It's packed away at the moment while the kids are going through a destroy everything phase and it will come out again for play when they are a little bit older.
Sadly there is way too much stuff in the loft for a proper circuit

Certainly looks quite cool - and would be interested to see how cars "handle" when they don't have magnets and a steel track to aid traction. Would be a little tail-happy I guess!

Some time ago my old school friend and I, who were both struck on cars of course, bought ourselves one each for Christmas. We combined them and got hours of fun out of them. I am sure we still would if we still had them.
He was the bloke who used to go out driving their old Triumph Gloria saloon at night with his dad wearing a trilby and those glasses with a false moustache when he was 12 years old! They never did get caught for it.

Once the construction of my railway is complete I'll finish the scenery on the scalextric track. Probably late this year. The railway actually goes under the track board in the last pic.

I've got a load of track in the loft!
That's a fair set up, but if you want to see something epic look back at a previous thread on here that linked to a forum specialising in slotcars.

I was most impressed with the fact that the bloke didn't use out the box track but actually cut/laid one to his own design. I'd want to have an accurate scale Brands hatch indy circuit I could stand in the middle of.
