😂 thanks Spencer
this is a really detailed explanation and kept my interest for the entire 2 hours.
Thank you Eric
I am a huge Bob Ross fan. You had me just as captivated. Incredible skill, sir. Simply incredible.
Thank you Brian, glad you enjoyed it
Thats super funny, because I was just saying outloud..."All the happy little bricks".🤣😂
AMAZING WORK!
This is a long video but it is filled with great how to info!!! Please keep it up!
Thank you Scott
By far the best scenery video I've seen so far.
Thank you very much Cygnus
You have a talent for over explaining the simplest of tasks.
Thanks , I learned from some earlier videos that I need to explain everything I can or I’m going to get questions
Good stuff,looks COOL 😎 ! Greetings from Portsmouth England 🏴
Thank you 😊
I found you on a Facebook feed and subbed. You are a goldmine of information, and your teaching style is laid back but efficient. I’m sure your channel is going places. Looking forward to watching your videos.
i'll do that thank you and i love those new billbroad to great work i wish the kids today would do things like that thank you boone
obvious skill that was developed over time. Very nice!
Thank you Elizabeth
Great stuff. Awesome realism, I respect the number of hours invested but the result is worth the effort. A child's dream that many of us had , whenever your turned 50 since!
Thank you, one thing that I always remember, is a world of wisdom that I learned from my Great Grandmother... “The secret to a long and happy life is to know how to stay a child and remember to play” ..... she lived till the young age of 103 years young....
Some Really Good Info! Layout looks Good too! Now to Race!!
I really like your style. Kinda like the Bob Ross of slot cars
Lol.... wait till I start videos on my trees
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage "Happy Trees" : ))
best description of this work ever.
So glad to see slot car racing starting to make a comeback. I used to race alll different scales, 1/24th, 1/32nd, HO, I ran them all!
Thanks Raymond.... sounds like you need to get back into the hobby
Great work and information. I like your attention to little details.
Thanks man! These videos are awesome. I'm gonna use what I learn here!
Big Thumbs Up
Thank you Edward, glad my videos are a help
Dude awesome video. Learned alot from you.
That’s awesome Donnie , glad to be a help
What a master class 🤩. Now I understand how to bring my track alive
Thanks Jethro
Boone-
Thanks for the video. It took me a while to get through this one since it was much longer than your usual videos. Great info, very helpful for my current track build. Thanks again.
Thank you C Hammer. Thought of ways to shorten this video but in the end I thought this was the best way. Lots of info and it is all connected. Glad you enjoyed it thank you again
If only I had the patience... Great video.
Thank you, but it’s not as bad as you may think. Try to do it in phases. Not all at one time. That way it might keep your inner Godzilla under control....lol.. I have had to walk away a few times because my patience was running thin. And I have turned into Godzilla a few times as well....
Great video, amazing information and tips I have learned from you. Thank you and keep your good work!.
Thank you
Found you by 'accident'. Very impressed & subscribed. What I really wanted to say, is how nice it it not having "Someone talking just for them to hear their own voice"...... Looking forward to viewing more.
Thank you Michael
Good tips on the LockTite foam and the proper orientation of the can. Thanks!
Your welcome and thank you 😊
What a terrific video real education step-by-step how to create Rock brick and stone scenery
Thank you very much
Love your work! I am 65 and in 1963 a hobby shop opened next to our school, As a 8 year old kid this was OH YEAH! I walked in there and the first thing you saw was a huge 1/24 scale racetrack, Had to have been about 50 ft. long. x a good 6 ft. wide. No scenery, Just the track on plywood. well the store was new and the owner had all intentions on making the track nice, But it never happened, I remember watching some older kids race, and then 3 months later our family moved about 13 miles away, I was at a different school, and never saw that store again, Then I learned that store went under in about a year. What a shame, But that store is what sparked my interest in slot cars. Now I have More RC toys then my wife cares for me to have and I have a AFX HO set That I still enjoy, Just no room to do all your scenery things, Your track is really cool though, Would love to have a track like that!
Thank you Len, that’s a great story. I always remember when I was growing up all the different hobby shops with a big old track... they always held my attention, and my mind would daydream on what it would be like to own a track like that.. fast forward 40 years and here I am living out a boyhood dream of having a big old track.... the great thing is , while I’m playing with my track and cars , it takes me back to that little 8 year old kid that is still a big part of my life.... I guess I’ll never grow up.... lol
Thank you Boone. You are an encyclopedia of modeling knowledge and a master teacher. I’m finding that I need to start writing a cataloging journal of your techinques. That way I have a list consisting of all your “how to” techniques, the name of the episode a particular technique is covered, and the episode time window covering that technique. Nothing but top tier stuff on Boone’s Slot Car Garage.
Thank you very much
that cobblestone was an amazing process. you sir are an artist
Thanks Austin.... it’s not as hard as it looks , give it a shot , I’m sure you will be happy with your results
Boone, this is a fantastic channel, thank you. You really do have a great delivery style, just from this one video I've already learned some new things which will enhance my future builds. Without a doubt this is one of the best tutorial videos I've had the pleasure of watching. 10/10 and then some :)
Very kind words, thank you very much.
Great video 👍
Muchas gracias por mostrarnos tu técnica, es una maravilla!! 😍💪🏻💪🏻
Fun to watch, learned a bunch.
I just recently got a 1/24 scale crawler and have been looking for this kind of tutorial. thanks for putting it out.. I also want to point out the sound of bone gnawing was the best!! Keep up the good work!
😂 thanks Terry… I have had a few comments about using this for RC’s , that’s awesome… I also have a video on a dirt / gravel road that might interest you as well…. A few RC guys have commented that it was very interesting to them
wow nice work! Thanks for the tutorial and for sharing! Love your way of explaining the process,I learned a lot! Keep the great work!
Thank you
Dude, this is awesome. I like your explanation for how to spray the foam. It makes sense. I was about to spend a lot of money on styrofoam but now I don’t have to. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, glad I was able to help
Вы просто талант!!! Отлично получилось!
Fantastic job
Looks great, some of the best grass and rocks I have seen on model track. This method also seem realtively cost and time effective.
Thank you, and yes it is pretty cost effective. It’s not hard to spend large amounts of money on scenery, this method really helps the pocketbook and I believe it looks just as nice as the more expensive ways.
I am a modelrailroader and this is the best video I have found on guys like me stuck with a flat board for our layouts. You are awesome with for developing this technique. I'm buying some Loc-tite spray foam tonight and fill in my terrain that I have been putting off as paper towels and plaster cast just isn't that fun with the dripping and long cure time. Keep up the great ideas.
Thank you Doug.... glad I am able to help out
Awesome video, step by step process! I’m a newbie in the slot car univers but I feel lot more confident on doing lots by myself now. Thank you keep doing it, one more follower :)
Thank you Patrice , and welcome to the world of slots
Great , thanks for all your tutorials man 👍
Thank you
wow Boone. amazing thankyou much .so much inspiration to do more to my layout .....Rik...

Great Video! I'd love to do this with my AFX track. This guys wife must be a saint! Mine isn't too understanding towards hobbies. Wish she'd get a hobby.
Thanks Ed, my wife is pretty understanding as long as I keep my eBay purchasing to a captain may I... but sometimes I just go for it and beg for mercy.... lol
I would Love to have a track like this, I have AFX also,( Endurance Champions) With a bunch of different cars I bought, That is limited to the set up and tear down on the kitchen floor, I don't have the room for a full time track, My wife is not real understanding either, It may because I have 78 RC aircraft ( ranging in size from 18'' to 90''), 6 RC boats, A RC Tiger Tank, A RC motorcycle, 3 RC Rock Crawlers, 1 RC Drift car, 1 RC 4WD Short course truck, 1 RC Monster truck, 1 RC 2 WD buggy, 3 Giant Kites. I am 65 years old and retired, And Still love our old Hobbies! My wife asks when I am gonna quit buying and building planes and trucks, I tell her when I Die...
@@lenp.eriepa.6472 thanks Len,,, wow you have a lot of toys, that’s awesome.... my wife ask me what I’m doing and I just tell her that I’m getting in touch with my inner 8 year old.... hahaha
Excellent!!

😂….. thank you Buddy
Great videos! I plan to make my track runoffs with foam board to keep everything light. On my model RR for some areas where I need to access underneath at times, I crumpled aluminum foil, painted it gray, dry brushed highlights, and it made for extremely fast, light and convenient rocks outcroppings! On my Model RR videos you can see it towards the coal mine at the back and at the tunnel under the mine!
Thank you 😊, I like your aluminum rock idea, very ingenious
Boone, I just found your channel and watched this video. What great content, step by step instructions on what materials are needed and how to do it - I just subscribed to your channel and cant wait to start building my track. I also noticed you have eyebolts with cables and pulleys so you can raise your track when not in use, I had that same idea and now hope you have a video on that. I just retired and have time to spend on this and looks like a labor of love!
Thank you very much buddy. And thank you for subscribing. Yes I do have a video on the winch system for the layout …
Amazing job, compliments
Thank you Sir
sir, you deserve more audience no doubt. greeting from Malaysia 👌🏻

Hi Boone, thanks for the video, in fact thanks for all your videos, we're all waiting for new stuff. Your pit looks nice, any chance you could share with us your buildings, over pass bridge etc? Cheers
Thank you.. I plan on doing a video of my layout soon , and to show the different structures and items. Thank you again and glad you enjoy them.
Great Stuff......
Thank you 😊
So good. So I guess we are done. So we will wait for another video. So here is hoping its a good one.
So far so good. So I will catch you later. So I can learn some more tecniques. So long.
Thank you Sabian , glad that you are enjoying the videos, hope to film a new one today and have up soon
You are so welcome.
Thanks Donnie
Nice
Fantastic Sir, Thank you. Subscribed.
Thank you Greg
I believe the proper term is apron, for that "edging". Awesome layout, man!
Thank you
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage Much obliged.
very nice work
Thank you Eric
sweet track
Thank you 😊
Awesome
Thank you Emerson
Wow...that's ART buddy. I wish you were my next door neighbor...I would be at your place every night :-)
Hahaha thanks buddy
Good Watch
Thanks 😊
New subscriber here and really like the videos keep them coming very helpful/ useful. Was wondering if you could do a full layout review, I apologize if you already posted one , it’s that I can’t find it if you did. The layout looks sweet from what I can see
Thank you Benjamin, I do have a video of the layout, it’s called “ A Little Trip Around Deception Raceways “ and thank you for subscribing to my channel
Awesome. Now I know I need someone to do it for me. 😃 One must know their own limits. I just don't have the patience to be that precise.
Thank you for the comment... not so much of patients as much as taking your time. I’m sure you could surprise yourself if you give it a go
I'd really love to see the track in action Boone once you're done with the layout!
I'm running Carrera but I know from watching 100's of videos that a majority of
the Euro tracks are Carrera based and not too many Scalextrics or Ninco, "the
Phantom slot track company"! I'm sure their fan base is mostly a Spanish since
it is based in Barcelona, Spain which BTW is a Beautiful city. Anyway, this layout
is Awesome and would just like to see ya' do a couple of laps!
I plan on a video showing the track, I was thinking of doing one when it was completely done, but when is a track ever complete...lol , should have a progress video up soon... thank you Django
thank you on the small billbroad thank you on the facebook to
Thanks for this. I plan on making modular scenery for my track. Sections I can move around when I change the track layout. Although I won't make enough to cover the entire table (can't make scenes for every contingency) the parts I do have will look cool.
Thank you Johnnie
This is brilliant!
Thank you Trev
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage You're so good at this, I was literally looking at one of your other videos and saw these rocks and things and really wondered how you'd done it. I've bought a load of track and a couple of cars and I'm currently trying to get it all working. Any tips for cleaning the tracks as I think I'm losing connection, I think some of it is the brushes on the cars but there's definitely some issue with the tracks too.
@@trevatkin4869 thanks Trev , there are a few things you can do , but first off I need to know what brand of track you have . It will determine the steps needed. Certain brands of track have a little bit of a difference on how you can improve the conductivity
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage Hi Boone, thanks for this reply, mine is the really old style track, the one that fits together with 4 plastic tabs with circular ends on if you see what I mean, two tabs from each piece to join them together. Does that make sense?
@@trevatkin4869 yes that helps . Sounds like you have Scalextric Classic track. So Scalextric uses a nickel plated rail. Only issue is that being plated and not stainless like Carrara it tend to corrode / rust and also tarnish. This can cause an issue with electrical current moving freely through the track. So first off inspect your track. Look for discoloration of the rails, now since it is plated ( and a very thin layer, electroplated ) try to clean by using the least amount of abrasive as you can . I like using Inox MX3 it has a secret ingredient “ lanolin “ which helps it from evaporating fast and leaves a nice light oil on the surface to protect it from corrosion. You can also use lighter fluid or Naphtha. Apply this with a nice clean rag and buff the rails , it should clean them up pretty good. Sometimes it might take using ultra fine steel wool or ultra fine sand paper to clean the surface, but try to avoid this if possible. Why I say this is if you scratch through the plating it will tarnish and rust much easier. So this takes care of the surface of the track , but it doesn’t address the actual connection between the tracks . Now you need to flip the track over and inspect the rail tabs . Scalextric track was designed for the abuse that kids tend to inflict on slot car tracks . The track is constructed with a softer plastic that could be stepped on when on the floor and the tabs were made to be connected and disconnected many times with ease. The weakness is in the metal tabs , male pins and female sockets. Over time they loose the tight fit. So… look at the female side, over time this area will spread some and loose the tight fit needed. ( I really need to do a little video on this, 😂.. kinda hard to describe what to do but I will give it a go) … if you take a flat head screwdriver you can press down the sides of the socket where it mounts to the track. This will help tighten up the connection. Also… use a small needle nose pliers to lightly tighten up the socket as well. Best way is to connect two pieces of track together to do this . It helps from collapsing the socket it the tracks are joined. But it can be done separated as well. Just take some care and you should be okay. Once this is done clean the tabs , male and female. This should help. Put you track back together and try running a car. Remember that slot car tracks run DC current, so your juice is going one way. So if you run a car and it has a drop in performance at a certain spot , you know that joint is having problems . Just fallow these steps and see if it corrects the issue. If it still doesn’t help after doing this , a jumper cable might be the answer. A jumper will connect the rails together with a small insulated wire and bypass the track contact pins. So here is this part on the track , hope it helps. Now for your question about the braids. The braids can wear over time , and need replacement. Scalextric braids wear out fast and need replacement. They use a light aluminum braid and it just doesn’t last too long. But if your braids look good but seem to be covered in muck 😂… use a toothbrush and comb the braid . Do not go against the direction of the strands, this will destroy the braid . Brush one direction with the braid and this should clean them up. You can use a light oil to help clean them in conjunction with the toothbrush. Works pretty well. Also check the connection to the braid wire. Make sure it hasn’t pulled out or come loose. There are a few braid oils in the market. They do help , but they also make the braids sticky and tend to clog the braids up quickly if the rails of your track are not clean. So give this a go and see what happens. Hope it works out well for you… thanks again and thank you for watching my videos
nice
Thank you Andre
Love the video. Do you have showing how you suspend the whole track with those pulleys .
Thank you.... and yes , I have 2 videos that cover the pulley system for the track
Top 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Ivo
Have you ever air brushed the scenery components? Seems like it would work.
Just amazing amount of detail in your videos. I hope you get to run your cars sometimes 🙂
Thank you again. I have airbrushed the scenery but have found the the brush method works better for me. Plus it’s faster. An airbrush can have issues sometimes with coverage. Where brushing not so much. As far as running my track 😂 , it’s been a while since I have had a good spin around Deception. Quite honestly it’s been over 7 months…. Much too long
Speed chase is my fafrit thing
You can spray a light mist of water on it to make it cure and make it stop expanding faster
Yes you can , only thing about doing that is the fact that one needs to be mindful of the amount of water introduced to the spray foam. It can go from just right to too much in a hurry.. 😂
Great job.
Thanks snafu
there so much i want to learn from you
Hi Wayne , I can probably help you out more if you connect with my Facebook page. That way I can send pictures of how to build some of the items that you have questions about and answer your questions that you might have
If you go onto Facebook and enter my name ..... Boone Haury , and send a friend request
Nice railway layout you got .Hope you like mine.
Thank you Dave, looked at your layout, very nice
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage thank you
Boone, have you ever considered the use of an air brush? I have used Loctite foam on multiple projects over the years and I think you would really enjoy trying.
I have a few airbrush guns . Unfortunately or fortunately 😂 I have been working with an airbrush for years , especially when I was painting custom car and bike paint jobs for customers. An airbrush works great for shading and doing the finer details on scenery.I haven’t shown this type of technique before on my videos mainly because not everyone has an airbrush. And the results are pretty good with the simple brush techniques . But you are correct. And I should do a video on airbrush techniques for scenery. Well I have quite a few places now on the layout that need a lot of love 😂. So I will definitely get an airbrush video in the mix. Thanks for popping the question Todd . Maybe it’s time I just do it 😂
Boone... this is some good s$#t man. WE LOVE IT! You are an oasis in the desert... Even if you run Carrera... can’t have everything!
experiment with spraying a fine mist of water on the foam. It expands it more and it cures faster
Thanks Kelley , I’ll have to try that out
What about berms? I'm doing my first layout and I'm not sure how to hold the track in place. And what do I do along the outside lane at the top of a berm? Thanks man. All of your videos are fantastic.
Thanks Edward, I have a couple corners that I have done this on the layout. I first created the corner that I wanted and supported the track with wedges to get the banking that I was going after. Once happy with the look and the support that the track needed , I then used poly styrene high density board and shaped the outer corner to create a grove that the track would lock into to hold it into place. Once that was secure I was able to proceed with the remaining berm . If you wanted to have edging on the outside I would use a thin MDF board cut in the shape of the corner to allow the track to rest on with enough room on the outer shape to have enough room for a track edging piece cut to fit so the cars can slide around the corner. I’m sure there are other ways this all can be done as well. A lot of times you can have an idea of how you are going to do it , but once you start the project some of the plans change to adapt to your specific situation. Hope this is of some help and thank you again Boone
Thought for you look at yardsales look for your self an electric carving knife for cutting hams or turkey it works great on foam
Thank you, I never thought about that. I will keep my eyes out for one of those..
Hi Boon , finding your video's very helpful in my attempts to create a slot car layout.
Can I ask what are the dimensions of your pit lane building as I would like to build my own from scratch keep you the good work many thanks wayne
Thank you Wayne, glad that the videos help… the Targa pit building is 3in wide by 30in long
