Digital Power Base Surgery

Tire of looking at your beautiful track , only to close your eyes when it comes to your ugly power base bringing down the property value of your layout . Well this video is for you 😂.. I take a stand and preform slot track surgery to my power base , ending the visual struggle of the growth that destroys our visual paradise.

Now I can have my start line near my pit lane as my pit lane is at the rear of my track and another lane was too close for the power base to site there thanks mate now I can do this😂

Very cool Steve , if you need any help just give me a shout.

[@HughesGarageSCA]

[@DNASlotCars]

Great video and nice collection there in the background!

[@BoonesSlotCarGarage]

Thanks buddy, it’s slowly getting bigger 😂. Just won a car today on eBay 😂. But I forgot that I even bid on it 😂… another one to sneak past the wife into the garage 😂 😂 😂

[@joebamma7887]

Looking good boone. So cool to see your channel i hope all is well - Sal from the big B

[@BoonesSlotCarGarage]

Thank you Sal

[@ThinkScalextric]

Defo better than putting our ARC pro Cover on it 😂
We have done this on a few full track builds for customers, works well 👍

[@BoonesSlotCarGarage]

Lol😂yes , much better than Huts 🛖 😂

[@XA351GT]

Boone if I can make a suggestion , Wrap some electrical tape over the screws on your terminal block so that nothing can get across the screws and short anything out .

[@BoonesSlotCarGarage]

That’s a good point. I will do that. Thank you

[@steves.922]

Awesome work! Very helpful to those of us that have tight spaces. Thanks!

[@BoonesSlotCarGarage]

Thank you Steve glad it was a helpful video

[@BHall51683]

I think I'll just make a barn and put it over the top of my Carrera digital base, or make it look like a substation

[@BoonesSlotCarGarage]

😂 sounds good, huts for power base…

[@XA351GT]

Did anyone else see a flicker in the video ? It looked like the lights were flickering. Maybe LED lighting and the frame speed of the camera perhaps.

[@BoonesSlotCarGarage]

It probably has to do with the lights in the garage. I have a ballast that is starting to act up. Flickers every so often…

[@MarkMyers-qf9mk]

Love your videos, they give me many great ideas for my track and train layout. Just wondering, how tall should my layout table be? I was looking at about 32" but I may go lower.

[@BoonesSlotCarGarage]

Thanks Mark, 32 is a good height, my table is at 28 , but mainly because of how wide my table is and the scenery. Lower table height makes it easier to marshal if you have scenery to contend with

[@jansrensen6987]

hi boone some more paint brush

[@lucluc6020]

What kind of wire did you use mate?

[@BoonesSlotCarGarage]

Im not that great at remembering stuff after my fall , but it was just standard electrical wire. Ideally I would use a silicone wire so that it is a little bit more flexible.
