make your own track.....
For the adult enthusiasts...
1 & 2 getting it straight...
3 hit with a mallet...
4 the result
5 keeping it in place...
6 staple gun
7 & 8 the result
9 an earlier try with twin track
11 a diamond crossing
12 lots of bits... cut up curves half and full straights
13 joined up
10 this was a rail sold to make a rise to a higher level for the monorail train and was intended to be used on its side... but I thought it looked useful and got a pack of four. They are as long as the sloping rails, but unfortunately are no longer on sale as the monorail system was obviously not popular enough. You can make your own though!
Sometimes the quarter size rails are too short and the half size too long... make your own! Make your own adapter connectors of any size and length, straight or curved.
I think that although it looks nice watching a train go down a long straight section, especially if it is a long train, it looks even better if there is a slight wiggle in the track, like an 'S' curve.... so make your own and enhance the view.... especially good for those who like to make video clips and send them to youtube for others to watch!

a lot of very good ideas! thanks for showing!
I have take several looks on your layout and I noticed this long slooprail, I thought you have taken a doublelong straight and formed it with heat, I know the resort line monorail but I have never seen this special rail before.
yes... it is a pity the monorail system did not sell well, since for that and the special Disney one extra parts and track will be unobtainable. Ordinary straight track can be used on its side, but you wouldn't have the special gantrys to fix to the supports. If I was wealthy maybe I would get three of the Disney sets and use their parts to make a decent long track... :-)
Hey there i am a dad from Australia, Perth to be precise my son and i have built up our track from a couple of rails and Duck which did not even make a full circle. I would love to send you a small clip of a track that we just did partially inspired by some of yours but dont know how. Anyway great job with the blog.
hey mate, my names jake. im 12 years old from melbourne, australia. I love these sort of train sets (tomy) and have small-medium collection. I am looking to expand my set as much as possible but i dont know how to do this becuase I am looking at making more layers (going vertical because I dont have much more room in my bedroom. To do this i need more rail and more girders. I have looked on ebay and google but cant find much. if you have any suggestions can you please email me at kooltiger2003@hotmail.com. ill send you some photos of my tracks if you want.
please help,
jake
