We always hoped to take two projects to the Slot Festival but hadn’t expected to have to complete the first one so soon. Anyway, here it is. And meanwhile we are still nibbling away at the other one. Today we began on a new area. Can you tell what it is yet?

Any news about tracks that we are making or have made or tracks that our customers are making gets posted here.
We interrupt this countdown – with just 24 days to go – to announce that Nigel (of AES in Stratford upon Avon) has unleashed Robbie the Robot and he has gone berserk again cutting panels to make a small track. And then Nigel said he needs it all finished by Sunday in order to video […]
Yes, in our 50 day countdown to the UK Slot Festival we are now half way! So only 25 days to go. Yesterday we worked on a curve and added most of a straight but needed some more advert boards. Today we made those and then added another straight. This time for a bit of […]
Hi everyone. Another day gone in our countdown to the UK Slot Festival. And another small amount of progress on our Festival project. We felt it was time for a change of sponsor so see the pictures below. The inner curve was just over 350 mm so a little longer than one of our Long […]

The Slot Festival is getting nearer. In 4 weeks from today we shall be setting up our stand but also – we hope – setting up our track project. Not a lot of time today for the project but I said yesterday that I would show some work on curves with kerbs and white lines. […]

Yes. Now it really is only 33 days to go to the biggest slotcar event in the UK Calendar. And we have made a bit more progress with our project. The grass effect flock has been laid down on to PVA glue but before we did that we printed a sponsor decal off and applied […]
Another late post so nearly only 33 days but that is for tomorrow. Our project is starting to get warmed up now most of the basic work is done. Robbie the Robot has finished his routing and drilling; all of the domino joints have been cut and tested; most of the panels have been painted and […]
