Thanks for your comments. Love the track. I have to ask, what did you use to do the landscaping?

Michael, the landscaping is plaster/hydrocal casts of rock molds, then just hand painted with a little balast glued down for texture.

A table height of 32" works really good. A little lower if you have younger kids.

Best regards,
Brian

36" works for me.
I have high banked Carrera track and the highest point is close to 24" above that.

Your table surface should be atleast 30" above the flour. We built ours 34" above the flour so that I could race sitting, as I can't stand to race. My last track had its lowest level at 40", with the highest level at 48". We found that the upper level was too high for easy maintenance on that track.

Hey slot car friends,
Haven't seen this asked before so forgive me it has been. I will be rebuilding my permanent track layout in the basement within the next few months and was wondering what you track building aficionados recommend in term of the height of the table?
The layout I will most likely be going with is L-shaped on a 18'x14' table. My first track was set up on a 30" table I am currently set up on a 24" table. What is the ideal...
