Once I had tore down the other modules I had made from foam and built a better base out of more sturdy wood the real fun could begin. A quick note; working with the magnet guided vehicles such as Faller Car System takes a lot of patience. You may have to test and redo things quite a few times. Don't get discouraged, it happens to all of us. I tried a "6 mm magnetic band" which I got pretty cheap. I then cut it into 3mm × 30 cm strips. It saved having to cut groves and had adhesive back so it was quick. I was then planning on 0.05 styrene roadways, that is why you see the wood strips to level it across. I learned my first lesson here however. The magnet band held vehicles on track very well however it became a problem where magnet band met at the ends and in junctions or intersections. The magnetic poles could appose that of the vehicle steering arm and send them off track. I had reached a major road block. Especially for future expansion possibilities.
