You can see the trackmobile in action here <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://youtu.be/0Ej_AKuxXwE">http://youtu.be/0Ej_AKuxXwE</a><!-- m --> were CSAO still switching in the park in 2007? I would be using geeps.
Given my 9ft x 9ft x 18in corner shelves I'd have to compress the North-South dimensions so industries were on either side of the 18in board sides. It would take on more of a concrete canyon look than the more open feel of the real Hainesport park. I still like the idea of using a specific prototype as a way to guide me in design and modelling even if in reality it's closer to freelance.
I have "reserved" the living room wooden floor this weekend as the only area large enough to lay out some track until the baseboards are built. I have chosen to order baseboards from a company to avoid having to buy or hire power tools in cutting up plywood. I don't have a car living in London so getting the supplies is quite a challenge. If it didn't have to be semi-portable (I live in rented accommodation) I would do the 2x1 frame and insulation foam direct on the walls myself.
This is feeling good guys, thanks for the motivation.
