New yard means new roadway project
Hi everyone. As many of you know I was creating a backyard Rc park for the rigs
last year. I sold that house and now have a new yard with all kinds of potential. Here's a walk through vid of what I'm up to this summer This is the next phase in my RC addiction. As much as I'd love to build many more trucks, I now look forward to creating my backyard wonderland a way of enjoying our fleet right at home and create a place for my RC buddies to come visit! http://youtu.be/gVhCIkE2_KI Thanks for looking and all comments and suggestions welcome eh!

Thanks Ian. With all the trees and shade it's going to be a nice, cool area. Literally! Quote:
I'm looking forward to many hours of enjoyment in the future Quote:
The ground is a nice dirt base already and not much grass to deal with so I'm thinking of using stone dust 1 1/2 inches thick covered with concrete powder. Paint the roads black or maybe use driveway asphalt sealer? I can get stone dust by the skid steer loader bucket load. I figure 6 should do it. Mario |

Fortunately, I'm a pack rat and I kept all the shingles from the road I made at the old house and laid them out today. It's a win , win situation. I get roads up quick and easy and it gives me a great visual as to how things will work and can make any change I want now very easy before I commit later this year! So here is the latest tour of the road..... http://youtu.be/jml7b8KEirs Thanks for looking. Tell me what ya think? Mario |

Re: New yard means new roadway project
Wish I had a yard like that. I would have my garden railroad and trails for my tamiya trucks to run on.
Are you planing to use stone gravel or road grindings....fresh well ground road grindings compact much better than gravel and around here you can get it for free most of the time. |

Looking great Mario
There are going to be lots of roots to contend with at the pit area |

I said gravel but yes I was planning on using stone dust or crusher fines. I really like the shingles too. Not as permanent as a gravel road. Things can be moved and changed so easily at any time. The gravel pit and loading docks will definitely get the hard packed stone dust treatment but I may stick with the asphalt road for the next couple seasons for now. Quote:

Re: New yard means new roadway project
It's been a busy weekend. Garden is dug and planted, Rc park roads built and had a chance last night to do a tour of the road from a truck perspective. Also did some off roading and street run.
I'm very happy I locked the rear diff. Lost some steering but this thing goes all over the place no prob http://youtu.be/gOnSKUxZ-k4 Mario |
