Hi Steve
I'm finally catching up on my email.
My thoughts on track building...I don't like commenting on designs, because everyone has different ideas about an ideal track and almost anything works...when you get to drawing a final design on the MDF, place cars on the lanes you've drawn and try to imagine how the driving will go...good passing? good flow? visibility? access?...then start routing....lotsa elevations add interest to any track. We only use 3/8" MDF, at less than $20 per sheet you can rout a section for practice, jigsaw out the roadway and then start bending it (till it breaks, then you'll know the limits of it, but you'll be amazed)
Our video is meant for anyone not familiar with woodworking, and might save you a bunch of time and money.
MDF is easy to use, so any cheap router will work (or rent one for a weekend), but get a good 1/8" double fluted carbide bit (about $20) and be ready for lotsa dust. Use face masks and have someone with a shop vac follow the router.
I wouldn't build a track without our routing kit (shameless plug)
