Buildings

[Storm68]

Hey guys,

I'm looking at building my own pit lane buildings and garages as well as grandstands but not 100% sure on what I want to do.

Can anyone post some pictures of what they've done to give me some ideas?

Thanks.

at carrera4fun.de there is a link on the right called Gebäude & Deko.

Click that and keep clicking on down through the various links.

There are over a dozen buildings and things you can print out and make on your own.

All for free.

It is all in German but pretty self-explanatory or use google.

There are some magnificent scenery pictures on this thread: https://www.scalextric.com/uk-en/forum/post/view/topic_id/13503/

 

Really beautiful & inspiring work.

 

To be honest, the best way is to use Google Images, although you could also check out manufacturers’ sites like Magnetic Racing, GP Miniatures, Scalextric, Carrera etc. Or retailers like Pendle Slot Racing or MRE who have good selections of buildings for sale.

 

And there are magazines like Slot Car Magazine, Slot, Jim Hunt Magazine, Model Car Racing etc which always have great scenic pictures. Most are available as ebooks as well as traditional printed magazines.

spend a month looking at all the buildings manufactured and hand made and you will find it's better to build your own. Get a few modle rail roading mags to see what people have built.

Hi Andy P

That link is great, just what I've been looking for. I had found lots of railway buildings, but they didn't really work for my Scalextric set up.

"carrera4fun.de there is a link on the right called Gebäude & Deko"

Many thanks

The paper cut outs have the advantage of being able to be scaled to make force-perspective or even if you want to double the length of a building etc.
