I remember being younger and racing these at a hobby shop called "Great Traditions". It was almost too good to be true that something so incredible could be in a small town full of bland stores when you're a little kid. My father brought me there and purchased both of us 2 Dodge Vipers ACR's. I never had so much fun. I'd love to see this thing in person. Just incredible work.
I just watched your video and as a railroad modeler of 30 years and sometimes slot car racer, all I can say is "WOW". The technique for your base/support is right on and the scenery is superb. Only in my dreams..................
Carlos Alvim 2 minutes ago Real nice Job, with attention to details, qhich ad quality and beauty to the track ! What a pleasure it must be to race in your dream circuit! Congratulations!
Hi Pete. Many thanks for your comments. If you look at my channel i have 5 videos of this track, before and after i added the extension to it. Please take a look :))
+Dave Inker very kind of you to say Dave. Yes you should find some space :-) Seriously tho, video doesn't do this justice and i'm in the process of finishing of the extension. Take a look at my other videos of this track.
Hi. Thankyou. Not to be biased but the scenery is better in the flesh. Lots of little details everywhere. Unfortunately I couldn't tell you the title of the music. It was a UA-cam option.
Buenas tardes buen trabajo en montaje dé la pistas y él camión precios dónde puedo comprar él camión y cuánto cuesta y dónde puedo pillar me gusta mucho los camiones y soy afán a los camiones desde chico dé pequeño un saludo 👌😱 dé Sevilla
Alas yes. That's the problem with large tracks. I actually didn't think that the horse shoe would be so bad to retrieve but I was soon proved wrong Haha. For me the track was all about the build. The next track will be a routed track and not scalextric
+jazzyjerome the size of the track in the video was 10ft along the back, x 8ft other way and 5ft deep. Currently being extended. I'm adding another 7ftx5ft board so overall length will be 17ft.
jazzyjerome once complete I will definitely be posting another video. I currently have 2 videos up and running of the completed track prior to the extension . Please take a look :)
Whaouuu ! It's very beautifull ! How many time for all ? How many time for each scene ? I'm very found of your work ! I'm starting something like this, not as big as yours but big enough for me !😬😀👍👍 Guillaume G.
Thankyou for your kind words. Time spent around 2 years of spare time. It was not a race to build but a hobby. Now i shall soon start a business building these tracks along with model railways
Excellent job! One question.... what are the dimensions of the 3 sections that make up this layout? Many thanks for sharing and looking forward to future developments.
Hi sealevel This track has just been extended and a new short video put up. The original track shown here was 10ft long x 8ft at 1 end reducing down to 5ft. Overall its now 17ft long but can be converted back to the original plan if required.
Amazing track and scenery. Did you apply copper tape over the rails? I've had difficulties getting conductivity through the adhesive - what was your approach?
@@babu7141 hi. The rocks were all cast in moulds. Occasionally broken and moulded before painting. If you look at my other vids of this track you'll see a huge wall of rock.
Hi. Thank you. The track was sprayed simply with a grey primer for use on metal. Any manufacturer will do and most grey primers are roughly the same shade. Mask off the rails first and immediately remove after.
Hi Nismo I am new to model building is there anyway I could contact you in regard to how to go about this and design etc ,Iam in South Africa and pretty hard to source materials so will need to import everything ,hope I hear back from you, I think you build was amazing
Simon Turton thankyou Simon. I replied to your text message. It amazes everyone who sees this and looks better in the flesh but time to move it on and build another :)
plywood for the base and then various on the shelf modelling materials sourced from the Internet. When the extension for it is complete, the material cost will be around a staggering £2500 . It's deceptive at the cost but the smaller details can cost more than the larger items.
Thanks Dan. This took a couple of years of just spare time and cost was well over a £1000 in parts alone, no cars. If i were to build this today working on it full time then 4-6 weeks without the extension i added to it in my other videos. Thanks again
@@junk52 thanks for the reply! I'm looking to take my track to a contoured table; any advice for first-timers - specifically on acceptable rise/run? I'm using a scalextric box kit + extensions..
Dagmar Grzenkowicz Hi. I covered the rails first with masking tape. Then sprayed the track with car primer paint before removing the tape and applying copper tape, tho I'm not convinced the tape was worth the effort. Thankyou for asking
Hi. Thank you for your kind comments. No payment necessary but anyone within reason is welcome to race on it once I've finished the extension of it, which is imminent :)
John Wilson thankyou for your comment John. I've just extended this layout, and will put up a video soon. I've tried to the best of my abilities to make as realistic as possible. Not too many people attempt that. Believe it or not it is still quite good for racing. More challenging.
2:24 - that ground-water draining from that culvert... Just.. How? I'm in total awe of this thing... It's Impeccable..
This may be the greatest thing ive ever seen....... So much detail and effort gone into it, hats off to you mate
Thankyou so much for that comment. It means a lot.
Spectacular…amazing attention to detail and skill
Outstanding!! You did a great job with realistic landscape and the layout of the track compliments it all.
Vincent Washington thankyou Vincent. Please check out my other videos of the track extended.
Lots of work to create these tracks I assure you :)

A lovely story and thankyou so much for your kind words. Really appreciated
You have done a fantastic job. It looks very organic and everything is in the right place. I would love to drive it.
Really great work . lots of thought went into that landscape. Awesome.

appreciate your kind words. Took a lot of work but I'm sure you could do this :) currently being extended.
+nismo glider Looking forward to an update video! Great effort.
Amazing track with fantastic attention to detail.
Fantastic track, beautiful and detailed. Very inspirational :-)

Such a great layout and amazing attention to detail 👏🏻
Thankyou so much !
That is great! Don’t even think about the losers who left thumbs down. They’re just jealous.
Thankyou my friend. Appreciate your comment 👍
Thank you for your answer ! I hope you to continue in this very pleasant way and good luck for the suite with railways 👍👍
Excuse my english !☺
Thankyou my friend. Your English is very good 👍
Man although this is already cool af, it would even look more cool if the track itself looked also like a muddy forest road
I’m no Scalextric expert but the first word that came into my head when I saw this superb layout was...... dust lol.
Lol thanks Dan 👍
Amazing attention to detail thanks for sharing.
Thankyou so much. Appreciate the feedback
You're an artist. Great and beautiful job
Thankyou Miguel 🙏
Truly amazing layout, take great inspiration from this
Thankyou so much Lees 👍
Beautiful job! Excellent!
jazzynet1 thankyou very much
Best set up I’ve seen awesome job , just the way I like to build mine , pity you didn’t show it in action....
Hi Pete. Many thanks for your comments. If you look at my channel i have 5 videos of this track, before and after i added the extension to it. Please take a look :))
Fantastic job. U r really talented
That is just stunning! LOVE IT!
Thankyou Sheldon. It's currently undergoing an extension
Great work...very inspiring
Thankyou very much
Wow!! It looks amazing, would love to do this.
Awesome project
Thankyou very much
This is amazing, thanks for the inspiration!
Very nice work!
Thankyou Tony :)
Wow great stuff…a true hobbyist. Subbed
Awesome, wish i had the space to build something like this, great work.
Thanks Dave. I'm actually currently extending it. will be 17ft long.
Awesome, think i might have to find space in the future, this is one of the best i have seen.
+Dave Inker very kind of you to say Dave.
Yes you should find some space :-)
Seriously tho, video doesn't do this justice and i'm in the process of finishing of the extension.
Take a look at my other videos of this track.
this is ridiculous....amazing mate
Supple,Tender, and oh so moist~
A great track for radio-controlled racing. You're doing great
Wow....very nice!
Thankyou very much
Very good 👍
Wow, this is great stuff!
brilliant mate well done
felicitaciones!!! es una hermosura!!!
That's great work. :)
this is frickin awesome mate!
Thanks Keir. I have 2 videos which show the layout better.
It's currently being extended :)
lovely.
Awesome
Very nice! But where is the “building” portion of this video? It would be brilliant to see how you “built” the terrain.
coooooooooooolにほんじんだからくしくコメントできませんが......すごいですね!!神ですね!!!!
Stunning work, love the detail with the campers and fire. Great video, what is the music called please ?
Hi. Thankyou. Not to be biased but the scenery is better in the flesh. Lots of little details everywhere.
Unfortunately I couldn't tell you the title of the music. It was a UA-cam option.
Music is by Arteres Buipui and its title is "The Peace Song".
Buenas tardes buen trabajo en montaje dé la pistas y él camión precios dónde puedo comprar él camión y cuánto cuesta y dónde puedo pillar me gusta mucho los camiones y soy afán a los camiones desde chico dé pequeño un saludo 👌😱 dé Sevilla
Just beautifull
Romain Dlg thankyou very much
Fetching a car that has deleted or spun out in that horse shoe tunnel has to be a pain in the arse!
Alas yes. That's the problem with large tracks. I actually didn't think that the horse shoe would be so bad to retrieve but I was soon proved wrong Haha.
For me the track was all about the build. The next track will be a routed track and not scalextric
amazing
Thankyou Sinbad
Awesome layout!
thankyou
+nismo glider What are the dimensions?
+jazzyjerome the size of the track in the video was 10ft along the back, x 8ft other way and 5ft deep.
Currently being extended. I'm adding another 7ftx5ft board so overall length will be 17ft.
I would like to see the whole layout with a car making some laps.
jazzyjerome once complete I will definitely be posting another video. I currently have 2 videos up and running of the completed track prior to the extension . Please take a look :)
Whaouuu ! It's very beautifull !
How many time for all ? How many time for each scene ? I'm very found of your work !
I'm starting something like this, not as big as yours but big enough for me !😬😀👍👍

Thankyou for your kind words. Time spent around 2 years of spare time. It was not a race to build but a hobby. Now i shall soon start a business building these tracks along with model railways
Good luck with your build 👍
Beautiful track!! Any running videos?
Jimmy Louis hi Jimmy. I do have a total of 5 videos of this track to which have running cars.
Thankyou for your kind comment
Excellent job! One question.... what are the dimensions of the 3 sections that make up this layout? Many thanks for sharing and looking forward to future developments.

This track has just been extended and a new short video put up.

Overall its now 17ft long but can be converted back to the original plan if required.
Sooooooooo coooooooool😀😀😀😀😀🐶🐶🐶
This is an incredible undertaking. What kind of paint did you use on the tracks? Thanks.
Ismail Farid hi. The track was painted with car grey primer. The lanes were masked off, track sprayed, masking removed and copper tape applied.
Amazing track and scenery. Did you apply copper tape over the rails? I've had difficulties getting conductivity through the adhesive - what was your approach?
cool
Really love this build, it how did you pin the track to the board?
I would love to build a track of this calibre using Scalextric Digital
You have done an amazing job how many hours did it take?
GatesheadGaming hi. Not hours but years of spare time :)
Unbelievable!
Your rocks look so life like!
Out of interest, how did you paint the track?
Hi. Many thanks. It was simply, mask the rails and spray paint grey car primer. I did this insitu .
@@junk52 Thanks......how did you make the rocks?
@@babu7141 hi. The rocks were all cast in moulds. Occasionally broken and moulded before painting.
If you look at my other vids of this track you'll see a huge wall of rock.
did you use a spray can to paint the track? what brand and color did you use, it looks great!
Hi. Thank you.
The track was sprayed simply with a grey primer for use on metal. Any manufacturer will do and most grey primers are roughly the same shade. Mask off the rails first and immediately remove after.
Thanks!!!
I'm thinking about building a track using "Classic" Scalextric track. I have no interest in the "digital" style track setups.
@@LeftyFenderJazz very best wishes Jack. Personally I think digital is overrated. The overtaking is just an expensive gimmick imo
hi - i love this. Could you share where you bought the material from?
unreal
niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee track... is there a plan available
Hi Nismo I am new to model building is there anyway I could contact you in regard to how to go about this and design etc ,Iam in South Africa and pretty hard to source materials so will need to import everything ,hope I hear back from you, I think you build was amazing
Cant belive you're now selling this. How gutting for you.
Simon Turton thankyou Simon. I replied to your text message.
It amazes everyone who sees this and looks better in the flesh but time to move it on and build another :)
What materials were used for this incredible track?
plywood for the base and then various on the shelf modelling materials sourced from the Internet.
When the extension for it is complete, the material cost will be around a staggering £2500 . It's deceptive at the cost but the smaller details can cost more than the larger items.
+nismo glider if you spent that much on the track, how many cars do you own? I noticed a large variety in the video
HazardousFromaㄟ ㄟ ㄠ
HazardousFromage hi. The cars are an additional cost to the build. I have between 40-50 cars.
What did you use to make everything? such as Base - , Grass - ,
Duuuuude, this is fucking incredible... What's the Time / budget on this project?
Thanks Dan. This took a couple of years of just spare time and cost was well over a £1000 in parts alone, no cars.
If i were to build this today working on it full time then 4-6 weeks without the extension i added to it in my other videos.
Thanks again
@@junk52 thanks for the reply! I'm looking to take my track to a contoured table; any advice for first-timers - specifically on acceptable rise/run?
I'm using a scalextric box kit + extensions..
Question ? You paint metal or You put rober tape over track?
Dagmar Grzenkowicz Hi. I covered the rails first with masking tape. Then sprayed the track with car primer paint before removing the tape and applying copper tape, tho I'm not convinced the tape was worth the effort.
Thankyou for asking
Where are the pits?
Is this a place people can pay to race at?
Hi. Thank you for your kind comments.
No payment necessary but anyone within reason is welcome to race on it once I've finished the extension of it, which is imminent :)
+nismo glider upload an update when it's conplete
+HazardousFromage I sure will. Won't be long.
K
tiene mas medera eso que ikea
I hate over and under tracks. Not realistic.
not very good. could be better. the scenery could be more realistic and the track layout does not allow decent racing
John Wilson thankyou for your comment John.
I've just extended this layout, and will put up a video soon.
I've tried to the best of my abilities to make as realistic as possible. Not too many people attempt that. Believe it or not it is still quite good for racing. More challenging.
nismo glider had a detailed look. it's actually very good after I seen it with my specs on. well done
John Wilson thankyou sir.
