On the ground or elevated?Wet Woking Neil wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2026 5:55 pm Before I start hacking up bits of wood, is there anything that is the ideal track base l for rad 1 curves and or other radii curves. Initial thought is series of small plywood blocks maybe 2' x 1' with potential 20-30° wedge ends. Alternative maybe an open PVC frame. Or is there non wood Alternatives? Any suggestions/recommendations appreciated.
Thanks

Elevated, ideally around waist height, although not decided how yet. Plan was on breeze blocks to allow change with initial setup, but housing manager (wife) has banned them.GAP wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2026 9:56 pmOn the ground or elevated?Wet Woking Neil wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2026 5:55 pm Before I start hacking up bits of wood, is there anything that is the ideal track base l for rad 1 curves and or other radii curves.
