Cold weather has slowed progress. I have managed to get a decent power supply 0-30volts. Now the shut area is a problem over 18volts. I can do a scale 1000ft with plenty of run-off. Running some 4-gears today.  |

Nice video! The cave and the track are looking great. The official at
the end of the track isn't bad either (seems a little stiff though).
Good looking collection of cars you have. Hopefully, an event can be
worked into next years schedule there.
Did you make a decision on a timing system?

Ninja, she's cut off below the knee's so she can't run away and she has no voice box! She's nearly perfect!!
Yes I have been having thoughts of holding a race here and could well be on the cards for next year.
Waiting to hear a review from someone on the Slotdragon set up before I commit to anything. I'd really like a remote tree but can't afford the big dollar system!
Thank you Rick, that is high praise coming from you. I have always admired your stuff.

Mock-up of an idea for a grandstand! Crowd scene down the bottom and corporate boxes above. I have to get this sorted so I know where to run some of the wiring!   |

Dave I'm digging your cave no pun intended ;D I love those controllers under the track. The grand stand idea is cool  it will be quite interesting to see how you finish it out. |

Slotdragon system arrived today. Can see one problem straight away! Photocells are bigger than expected. If you set them in the track so the cars(I used a Tyco chassis) don't touch the sensors, the sensor wires protrude below the underside of the track. So with the sensors fixed in the track the wiring will raise the track. I could see this causing someone headaches I will router a recess in the MDF to suit the wiring on my track.
I really like the adjustable sensors. If they are reliable I will buy another set of the sensors to replace the sensors on my other track.
All going well I hope to test the timing gear this weekend!
