awesome! until :46. lol. really nice track. i used to build tracks similar to that from leftover pieces that i acquired from my friend's tracks. They would break theirs, and i would fix it. they were gracious enough to let me have their scraps. now, i know how to work on these tracks, fix them and the cars too. i was very poor growing up, but i always had slot-tracks, and RC cars. i never bought a new slot-track set, ever. just the cars i wanted. lol...
They quit making the Railroad Crossings because of concerns that teenagers would get used to beating trains on slot car setups and then go try to do it for real (the Nanny state at work again).
But from this video it looks like maybe they produce them again(?)
Psycodel & Origiful; maybe additional slot car terminal track sections could be installed around the layout & connected to the first terminal track section with 14 or 16 guage wire to eliminate " voltage drops " and the " less track, more power " situation. It is commonly done with trains by installing additional terminal track sections or terminal rail joiners made by Atlas and running wires from each back to the power pack .
I really don't know, it depends of your slot car condition, and the electric power (less tracks, more power), but all the models I have seen use a 9" and a 15" lenght at most. We can try more lenght !!
@psycodel - You know you can get around the voltage drop problem by adding jumper leads (preferably copper wire) to shorten the current paths, don't you?
more fun when you add two cats to the room that like to chase the car lmao.

you can make them as high as you want as long as you have a 440 or 440-x2 car with magnets. they can even go upside down!

I want to get one of these sets! How high vertically could one of these go (if you attached a track going up a wall)?
