Johnny's Workshop Track System

Overview:

Currently designing a modular 3-lane track comprising of 9 different pieces:

• Track connector,

• Track rivet,

• Straight,

• Straight border,

• Inner radius curve border,

• Inner radius curve,

• Center radius curve,

• Outer radius curve,

• Outer radius curve border.

This is enough to achieve layouts such as these:

Track Gauge Width & Footprint:

A 105 mm track gauge width gives the cars more driving surface than other brands while not occupying as much real estate.

For example, this 3-lane layout including borders consume less overall width than a 2-lane Carrera track with borders:

Usually, only lanes directly in contact with borders benefit from them. Opting for a less wide border design is a good compromise to balance available track surface across all lanes.

Rivets & Connectors:

• Rivets (yellow), are for welding track sections and/or pieces together,

• Connectors (red), are for building parallel track pieces and sections.

Underneath a 3-lane curve section would look like this:

Conductivity (DC Current):

The DC current is carried via 4 mm male/female jack and 6 mm width braid.

Note: This design also features countersink screw brackets for fixing track pieces to another surface.

Storage:

So far, if opting for small sections: We are able to fit an entire entry layout plus extras in a 33.5 L plastic container.

Further Development:

A 'Chicane' track pieces and borders are currently in the works, along with a 'Start/Finish' straight piece.

Highlighted in yellow is the tangent across Chicane track pieces.

Each Chicane track length (edge to edge) is equal to a regular straight, they will fit perfectly in parallel to each other.
