I have thought many times about creating a package of Track Accessories as paper model kits.
I think Frog and Airfix made Race Car buildings as plastic kits in the early 60s.
I owned AFX stuff myself in the 80s.
And of course, 1/32 slot cars are all the rage.
But then I found a few designers creating slot car accessories,
so I wasn't sure about a retail market.
And I couldn't decide on a scale...so I let the idea slide repeatedly.
I may pick up the idea once again sometime in the future.
It will be fun to see what you come up with.
But why 1/50?
Are you literally just creating the "Track"?
Or things that go on a "track layout"?
Have you considered HO scale?
Thats what AFX is supposed to be...
although I think AFX cars are much bigger than that...I think they are 1/64
If I do try to make track accessores in paper, I will use 1/64.
That way they can be enlarged to 1/32 by doubling.
