link, steal away! I posted how I did it so people could take ideas if they wanted to. I took... I mean... borrowed a few ideas when I made it too.

Legion: WOW! that's one great track! I see the piano hinge on the long side, so I assume that's where it folds. Very nice indeed. I especially like how you've engineered stiffeners to hold the track rigid into the track design. I'm assuming that it's 4x8 feet. I have a bunch of questions for you.

How wide are the lanes? Have you test driven it yet? How do the cars handle the climbs? For that matter, what motor are you using to negotiate all those curves? It looks like you are using thin strips of wood for gaurd rails, is that right? I was going to rip a 2x4 real thin... like 2x.0625... to wrap around the corners if I bank them. Is that what you did? Is it balsa?
