Hey all, first post ever. I'm new and in the planning stage of my first layout. <br />My question is what is some of the best pre-made road available. Keep in mind I'm on a budget. Making my own just doesn't sound like a good idea. I need something that can have a continuous tunnel underneath. Why you ask? I want a road to run around my layout, but seems useless to have a nice moving train and a static highway. So I was searching through the forum and saw some guys talking about a conveyor system and magnets. It sounded good but wasn't quit what I wanted or even knew where to start. Not to mention how would you go around turns. I have a couple slot car tracks, but who wants a big ditch in the middle of your road with out of scale race cars. So I thought, what if I use the slot cars in conjunction with the magnet idea. 'Have the track running hidden below the 'real' highway with magnets strapped to the slot cars pulling the in scale cars down the road. Still a lot of work but about only inexpensive route I can come up with. So help me pick some pre-made road and gently poke holes in my theory.
