TRACK PLANS FOR YOUR SPACE, A COMPLETE INDEX, BY SIZE of Real Race Tracks on a Tabletop This is a complete index of 151 plans published in Model Car Racing magazine (and in four books) for 1/32 scale track, including 38 plans for 5 x 9-foot ping-pong tables, and 14 for 4 x 8-foot areas plus another 99 for larger spaces. The plans are arranged in order by size. Most of these plans are designed for Carrera, Sport, Scalextric Classic, SCX or NINCO track, however, to build the plan with NINCO track you will need about 10-percent more space and you may need some additional short straights to get everything to line up properly. SB indicates plans for the older out-of-production Strombecker Track and there is one plan for Artin track. Two-Lane plans are listed first, followed by four-lane plans, then a six-lane plan. Routed plans for hand-made wood tracks are near the bottom of the list. HO SCALE plans are at the bottom of the page. Custom-Fitted Tracks From Model Car Racing Plans You can custom-fit any of the plans in Model Car Racing but, usually, only to make them larger. Most have places marked with a W or an L where pairs of straight track sections can be inserted to enlarge the plan to any size. In some cases you may be able to remove tracks at those points to fit the track into a smaller space but, usually, the plans are as small as they can be for the given area without completely redesigning the track. If the plan is four-lane you can assemble just the inner two lanes and save about a foot of space in both directions. To make the plans fit any smaller space you will have to use smaller radius curves and, most often, the plan will lose much of it’s realism-in-action---better to pick plan to fit a space that is closer to what you have available. If you want to design your own track, or just make a more-informed decision on picking a plan, I recommend that you read Chapter 7 “Building 1/32 Scale Raceways” in RACING AND COLLECTING SLOT CARS. All of the basics of model race car track design including “Do’s and don’ts”, why borders or shoulders are necessary, and other important aspects of assembling a 1/32 scale model race car track that is both fun and challenging to drive are in that chapter.

Sport has an adaptor track to match Sport Digital to the older Scalextric Classic or standard SCX track. The SCX Digital track system does not have an outer-outer curve so no plans that utilize this curve can be used with SCX Digital system.
