Project Summary

My father gave me some money for Christmas and I decided to build a model slot car track in our stables. Making it portable provided quite a challenge, even to my extensive DIY skills. I spent three months designing it and 18 months building it. The carpentry, electrics, painting, and engineering involved provided endless enjoyment.

I love this idea. With no basement in our house, there is no place to permanently put up our slot cars. This usually means they do not get used. I would love to know how this was accomplished.
