Building the "Mitchell Point Tunnel" Slot Car Track

[epiCUtoobR1234]

AWESOME! I built on my property were I host slot car races in IN. I built one like that but mine was about 110 feet of track, 6 lanes, and had a working water fall and a "damaged bridge" where the rails were rusted and had a "danger sign" on them. One guy fell of into the water. The car sank but still ran okay. I actually think it ran faster after that. LOL nice though mate. Cheers!

Hi mate, how did you get the ripple effect on the side of the mountains? Is there an easy way?

[MrSlotcarNut]

Absolutely beautiful Slot car track,

I am still working on mine and I hope it looks as good as this.

[microtorr]

Fantastic and perfect work.

[vortexflier]

all the stuff surrounding my track is made of legos and some wooden bridges. this just blows that right out off the water!

[MrAtheHun]

As I mentioned, it took about six months to make. Obviously, I was just working on it here and there, but I put a lot of time into it on weekends. I also have some experience doing these type of tracks now so it goes quickly. You can buy all the materials at a hobby store (especially if they do model RRs), and the wood from Home Depot/Lowes/Osh.

[bigboxman2]

love it. i whant to make my own track

[UTubist512]

The last shot of the boy filled with wonder says it all. I suppose we grown-ups here still haven't lost that same sense of wonder. Thanks for pushing the hobby forward.

[jmswms]

No idea on how long it took to make, but it probably cost about $700. I built it over the course of six months, but you could build it much quicker depending on how much time you devote to building and what kind of detailing you put into the track.

[jmiselnicky]

We are in awe of this and about to embark on our own. How long did this take you to build from start to finish? What do you think it cost to make?

[DCRlive]

Thats a wonderfull track.  Great movie and sound all in 1. Perfect work. Greet DCR

[Mercari1964]

Beautiful job, and the final bit of film was deeply moving -- the myths and fantasies of childhood.

Also, what is the beautiful music -- fits this perfectly.

[lisag6]

@Mercari1964 You're right Mercari, the final bit was deeply moving, just in time for Christmas, the joy and wonder of childhood illuminated by this marvelous display. And, yes, the music support the 'wonder" perfectly. Thank you jmswms.

[gamehound83]

Sir you should write a book on how to do this

[Tagmation]

[chanotrd]

[driftking9293]

best track ever

[jadedragon318]

Very nicely done!

[eduardois]

impresionante, me podria decir que materiales usa para crear los cerros? gracias :D

[JBofBrisbane]

Great scenery - better than I could ever do. The "doughnut", however, needs to be outside the main circuit and turning in the opposite direction to equalise the number of inside and outside curves for each lane. Putting the "doughnut" inside the main circuit only adds to the difference in length between the "inside' and "outside" lanes.

[calvinthedestroyer]

very nice, I would love to tack my slot cars for a spin on that track. well, maybe not my wing car :)

[m1k3lslot]
