Free Ho Scale Slot Car Track Layout Software
Large HO Slotcar 2 Lane Layout on Ping Pong TableJanuary 12, 2009
Using Tomy’s Super International Race Set combined with 2 squeeze tracks, two chicanes and two hairpin turns, I came up with this layout.
Because the Super International Race Set is four lanes normally, it comes with two power strips. This means that I’m able to power each lane individually so when one car flies off the track, the power to the other lane doesn’t all of a sudden surge causing the other to fly off shortly afterward.

Slot Car Central: 4pc TYCO Slot Car Track 9' Speed Corners w/Drift exitB 4.50 5 each 22.50 plus 8 shipping $30. Total: About $280. Over a train track. One can lay this over snap together train track, 36' by 81'. This is pretty cool. Besides the buildings in layout one can make hillsides out of the sides, tunnels for the trains, etc. Lloyd’s Layouts recently took on a project that was a bit out of our wheel house – an HO Slot Car Track Layout. Of course we were up for the challenge especially since we are BIG race fans! Once the track plan was designed and the track was installed, our biggest challenge was to find the HO scale race theme accessories.
Although there are two 6 foot straightaways in this layout, it is a very technical track to drive because at the end of both straights there lays a very tricky hairpin curve you need to slow down for.
I’m looking forward to seeing how close the two lanes end up being when timing.
Enjoy!
