Updated Version of my 140ft Carrera Digital Layout

- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Added some interesting new features to my track. I recently had an electrical short in my system and I had to tear it down. So I took advantage of the opportunity to update my layout. I added the Dunlop Tower from Magnetic Racing. I added additional curved track to make my layout more challenging and other aesthetic improvements. Sorry for the bad video soundtrack. I'll try to use something better in the future.
Simply beautiful. Outstanding attention to detail. This is deserving of an award. Instead all I can offer is a huge THANK YOU for sharing!
Thank you my friend
Hey Anthony hope you Christmas merry was great.
I was wondering how you started with all your tracks. Did you buy multiple sets? Or did you buy buy the piece?
Lol. Merry Christmas!!
Just found your channel, Amazing! I am new to the hobby and am excited to share it with my kids. Your work on your track is inspiring. God bless you, your channel, and your ministry.
Bless you my friend. Thank you for the kind words. Glad I can be a small inspiration.
Absolutely fantastic!! Your track is just a work of art! Well done! Thanks so much for posting and sharing your wonderful work!
Thank you so much I appreciate it.
Great job Anthony , Love the updates and additions .Very nice.
Thanks Dave...I was long overdue for some kind of video content. My short issue opened the door for a few updates.
Beautiful layout. Your hard work and love for the hobby ( addiction) shows very clearly in video. I’m about to get started at my own. Yours is my inspiration . Keep up the great videos.
Thank you Brian. I appreciate the kind words
Beautiful job Anthony!
Cheers,
Jeff (Garage Maker Guy)
The layout is fantastic. I love the diversity of the aesthetics and also the length of the track. Great job
Thank you
Very nice track. Both technical and speed sections that keep things interesting. Congratulations.
Eine der besten Anlagen, die ich je gesehen habe. Wenn der Erbauer jetzt auch noch mit einer Videokamera umgehen könnte.....man schläft fast ein.
Amazing Track 👍💯🏁
Wow what a amazing layout that's really cool Thank you for sharing Take care
Wow. I don't say that lightly, but I'll say it again, Wow. I came over to your channel after watching your chat with my friend, John Kit today. What you've done is inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Mark thank you...you are very kind. A friend of John is a friend of mine.
Looks fantastic! The scenery is laid out perfectly
Thank you my friend
I miss the videos Anthony. Miss the pics of the preciseness of your layout and its details.
Thank you Scott and happy holidays to you and your family. I'm overdue for content. Working on a strong comeback though with more racing. stay tuned.
Just a fabulous track. Great detail
Anthony another great video. Thank you for sharing. I would dearly love to see the latest layaout deign with the new inclusions.
Let me see what I can do my friend
@@MrAramsey4979 Thanks again Anothny .
Wow!!! that is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
Absolut cooler Track. Und die Werbebanner sind absolut Klasse. Danke für deine Inspiration. Greetings from Bavaria ⚪🔵🍺🥨
Welcome my friend...thank you.
Totally Beautiful Racing Layout!!!
Thank you very much my friend
Very impressive layout! Well done.
Thank you Art
Anthony, how long did it take to build this outstanding work of art. I will not even ask how much money you have invested . This is without a doubt the best slot car track I have ever seen.
Too kind my friend. It took about 3 months for the basics and another 3 - 5 months refining everything. I'm still learning. As new things come out I reconsider changes. I watch a lot of F1 and get inspiration.
Loving the colour scheme on the Dunlop bridge, good work 👍👍
Thank you...it was a little challenging to put together.
@@MrAramsey4979 I guess it more rewarding once you have finished knowing you have built a difficult model :)
@@ThinkScalextric Well said my friend.
Very Nice, i wish i had room for a layout like that!
Thanks!
It’s a great layout Anthony, you did one heck of a job designing and creating the layout and landscape. I wish we were neighbors, lol.
Thank you my friend. I wish we were neighbors too so I wouldn't have to drive so far to get to people who share me love for this hobby.
Great job Anthony!!!
Thank you Ricardo
This is truly outstanding! You can see this is a passion! Congrats!!
Perhaps one little constructive comment: I would give the pits and starting grid a bit more attention.
Thank you my friend...
let's racing, anthony!
Very nice indeed!
Wife and I love the details. In our estimation you are but a banked curve or 2 away from perfection. Keep it up please!!!
Thanks Scott and tell your wife thank you also.
It is a thing of beauty! I'm starting mine but have a question, how do you keep everything clean? Tracks, scenery etc?
My mechanical room doesn't get very dusty. Just wipe down your track with a dry cloth. I use a shop vac sometimes to vacuum the track and scenery areas.
Awesome display Anthony.
Thank you
I like your track! It's amazing! 🚙💨
Thank you my friend
Like I said before, really nice !!! 😎
Thank you very much and happy new year to you and your family
Muy bonito, felicidades.
Such an awesome track! Are you going to post any more videos?
It's been a long time but I plan to do more videos soon
great track, you mentioned the length of the race track, but what's the size of the area you dedicated to your "playground" you put the track on . This seems to be a room entirely dedicated to your Carrera-Bahn (to call it by its German original ;-) ).
simply beautiful. Yes there's quite a bit of magnetig racing stuff to be discovered there. Very tastefully decorated. Now only the spectators enjoying the race are missing... Very cool
Guten morgen...that's the only German I know. thank you Reinhard for the kind words. My layout is 34 feet x 8 ft. It takes up most of the room but it's my man-cave. I wanted a layout that stessed trees and nature terrain. I didn't want a lot of building structures or figures.
@@MrAramsey4979 so converted to the metric system roughly 12m x 3 m. Almost seems narrow... Realistically hardly to be implemented in Germany where everything seems to be smaller. Wouldn't even fit in my living room and that's the largest room of the whole house....Again very tastefully made!
Great Track. I like it how you put in the trees. A bit too much of your nice! Dunlop Building in my point of view 😏
Kindest regards from Minidrom Luetzelbuch
I think you have “extended” your 140 feet a little bit. Thanks for the tip on the car by the way. Love the looks of your Toyota
Yes...you are right. I need to remeasure it.
awesome
Hi Anthony, could I get you to explain the lane changer in-between your 2 fuel stops lanes......I've looked on Carrera website but I can't find anything that looks like it. Its not a double lane changer but it sure looks similar. Many thanks
It's really coming along! Looks fantastic! Still fun to drive?
Absolutely amazing what you have done. I’m new to this hobby. If you don’t mind me asking what is the dimensions of your tables?
And I’m surprised you did this all without a program how long did it take you to figure out your layout?
Thank you Dano and happy holidays to you and your family. My table dimensions are 34 ft x 8 ft. I just used my imagination for the layout. I lay track pieces on the floor without connecting them and came up with a plan. It took about 2 hrs or so come up with my concept.
The scenery is beautiful but when do you show some cars actually racing that would be nice to see
it's coming
🤩 Amazing!
Thank you
Just beautiful. When are you and Lance going to do a racing video?
Hey my friend. I pray and the wife are well. We've been careful with Covid so we haven't raced in over a year. Hopefully things will change soon.
Anthony did you use any software to design this or just seat of the pants? Thank you. Finally starting to build
I used my own creativity. No software involved.
@@MrAramsey4979 should’ve guessed!😎thank you. That is what we are doing as well.
Nice. Does it work?
How is the final cost of a beautiful track like that?
You don't want to know...too much! It makes me feel better if I don't think about it.
Nice!🔥 Create more content 🔥
Great!!!
Thank you
Love the track. Where did you get the Dunlop tower and the Johnnie Walker billboards from?
Hakim thanks for the kind words. I made the Johnnie Walker billboard. I bought the Dunlap tower from magneticracing.com.
@@MrAramsey4979 thanks for the information. I stumbled across the website and found the building. Was it difficult to put together?
@@MrAramsey4979 I’m impressed with the billboards. I’ll buy some if you have them for sale.
@@MrAlihawk369 In my opinion, yes at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's not bad. But you have to follow the instructions. And paint the parts before you assemble them per the instructions.
Let me think about it. I'll reach out and let you know.
Awesome! Would love to race this track!
Thank you my friend.
👌
Awesome setup. I'm just in the planning stages for my track. What are the dimensions of your table?
Thanks Corey...35 ft x 8 x
Anthony I am wondering why you don't have any peeps on your layout maybe in the dunlop tower or some stands
Mark the tower was expensive and difficult enough putting together...putting people figures in it would only have made the process more difficult.
Did you ever find the short, if so, did the CU and Tek-Slot still work after the fix? Looks like a newer Tek-Slot from what you had before
Tek Slot agreed to upgrade my box at a discounted price. I pretty much disassembles 60% of my track and removed all jumper wires trying to find a short but I never found one. The box worked for a few weeks and then it stopped working again. Everything works in digital but analog is inconsistent. Not sure what the issue is after isolating everything. Hopefully it will start to work again like it did before. Not sure what to do. Too much money invested to buy another box. Thanks for the question.
Great job & attention to detail. where did you put power taps?
Sam...it's a long story but I took all five taps out. I have no taps with over 140+ feet of track and 16 change lane tracks. I'm running 16 volts and the cars run fine. I took the taps out because the Tek Slot box that switches from digital to analog was being shorted. I assumed I had misswired my wire taps. The box started working. Not sure if it solved the problem or not but I never put the taps back in.
@@MrAramsey4979 So you ran the power supply from the control unit? How did you do that, & do you have any videos showing your cars in acting
@@samiamcolesioe2469 Sam if I am understanding you correctly, all my power comes from the CU track. I run 16 volts. I will provide new racing videos soon.
still walking on this planet ?
What did you use for the sand on the edge of the track
I used aquarium sand.
Anthony, what is the height of your track from the floor?
Jim...my track height is 36"
very nice,but no acction???why not its a digital track.6 til 8 cars easy
Hi there, I'm desperate for help and i don not find any answers anywhere... so as I'm subscribe to your channel because of your expertise, knowledge, layouts, cars, videos etc etc i thought you might know how to solve my carrera digital 132 problems... Basically every time I want to code a car it goes to RC #3 no matter what so now all my 22 cars are coded to RC #3 and I can not turn on/off the lights and all of them do change lanes without me clicking on the change lane button, basically all my cars are now in 1 throttle #3 and do change lanes every single change lane piece of track... if friends bring over their cars they stayed the way they play at home but if we try to code the their cars again automatically they are coded to #3 throttle... Did it happen to you at some point? do you know how to solve? or do you know to whom I can ask for help? it does happen every time permanently even do I reset the unit control several times.... Please advice Getting really frustrated here... Cheers!!
What kind of controllers do you have? Are they standard Carrera controllers. Secondly, you can reset your control unit track. There are UA-cam videos that show you how to reset your track system back to factory settings. That's what I would do. Anthony
@@MrAramsey4979 Hi Anthony, really do appreciate your response. I have factory reset the CU several time and does not work. I have the standard wired controllers that come with the set. I have looked every single internet forum and video on youtube and not one solves what mine is doing, I'll create a short video. Thank you Anthony and kind regards from sunny Cabo San Lucas. PS: how is your lay out nowadays? Cheers!
This!
Your track reminds me of bathurst
I have to investigate the Bathurst layout
@@MrAramsey4979 I mean not the layout it self, just the scenery
@ Ok...I see. I was motivated by the scenery of the Belgium Grand Prix. It's just so beautiful. That's what inspired me to use trees as a focal point and not buildings.
@@MrAramsey4979 look closely at Bathurst, it is really similar to your track, those banners near track, many trees and this bridge.
@ You were right. I just watched a UA-cam video of Bathurst. I can see why you made the connection. Very astute on your part. Not the layout but the terrain is very similar. Thanks again.
