    This is great. The hardest part for me settings up my track was making supports as I have no construction experience and no idea how to secure track down. This not only gives new builder's a great idea on how to do it. But you offer peaces that help to build a nice stable track!! Thanks for all your work for the diecast community.

    • @spoolheads

      Yeah. Once I started building track I realized that supporting tracks is hard. I have a couple other ideas that I think will help the process go faster and more efficient. Thanks for watching!

    Love the updates, especially to the open tracks. Your innovations on the stands are very wise also. Thanks for all you're doing to help the diecast community get even better. I agree with the slightly wider open track design making for better racing and passing. Great job.

      I've learned that the guard rails are much stronger depending on the orientation of the print. Also, they work a lot better if I don't step on the track :) I've done a little with open track guard rails and it really has a great look. Thanks for the comment!
