Cabin Raceway: New Cars - New Track - New Direction
The prep at Cabin Raceway is going really well. Scenery is coming along, got some figures on order and a few buildings already. Got a a new logo for the track with my actual race cabin digitised.
I have also found myself in the fortunate position to have been rewarded at work via a bonus, and that my diecast friends, is going on a full track purchase from Spool Heads plus some extras, so that will be ordered this weekend.
Also, I am teaming up with Majorette, I have used their cars before and I really like them and for the new circuit and the events I am going to host, it will be solely Majorette cars and it is hoped to also do some promotions for them as and when the channel goes up (once I finish the circuit).
I now have 13 of them in the Cabin Raceway garage:

Nice, nice, nice! And bonus props for going with Majorette. I am indifferent to them but it's nice to see something different, and I hope you're able to find some mutual with them. I mean, if you have an in with them and can get packs of cars and you unleash them onto your track, that'd be great stuff.
Nice track, if I was in the buying mood that's exactly what I would do. Nice score on the Majorette deal let's see how they roll
The "steampunk" buildings were from the train layout of my father in law, I do like my steampunk and there will be a little community section within the circuit, like a steampunk village, which the cars will race through.
The current draft layout is this (please excuse my scrawl and it is not to scale), but the length of my main frame is 9ft long, it will start up in the forest, spiral down and then the farm fields and countryside (the English countryside haha) which merges into the villages and then the main Cabin City finish, then there is an extension out of about 3ft to the side, and that is where I am going to build an airport (the Cabin International Airport) and few other buildings or industrial units etc. All a work in progress.
And also for the scorecards or graphics, I have been able to create digital images of the actual cars so looks nice on a scoreboard, I'll just share a few here:
McLaren Senna
Mercedes-AMG GT R
Corvette Stingray
Alfa Romeo Giulia
Good luck with it all!
Yes I do like Majorette, have run a couple here n there at times. I have quite a few castings and did plenty of testing on them. I do wish however that the wheel quality overall was better. I have plenty with egg shaped wheels or off centre hubs. Pity.
Majorette Australasia are a good mob though, and over the years have responded to me.
Cheers
PS The Hilux can be a quick casting for a Majorette, as well as The Isuzu Ute, if you can find one.
- The Hilux is my "oooh" casting. I am not a modifier like the rest of you, so I will be intrigued to know what your modification experience is. — Simmo
- I do enjoy the stock or rip n race suspension, nice curve ball. — Simmo
- Hi Simmo, I saw your email addy from your todays post, so will write something to you in the next day or two. Cheers — CutRock_R_Marc_D
Exciting stuff! Congrats!
