Hi Folks,
Just a quick update... One of the Tyco US1 parts I've been working on will is now available. After teaming up with a fellow US1 enthusiast on project ideas, we decided reproducing US1 Trucking Guide Pins would benefit the hobby since they are getting hard to come by. I only produced a short run of a hundred pieces and I've got dibs on at least ten for my trucks... so get them while I got them. See Offer (2) page. Thanks for visiting!
Until the next update, Happy Motoring.

The Doctor is in...
Though I mainly focus on the Aurora T-Jet & AFX, I also enjoy collecting other vintage HO scale slot cars by Atlas, Lionel, Marx, & Eldon. Recently, I've been collecting and building 1:32 scale cars as well... its just too fun not to.
Though straight up racing is fun, I find modelling cars, making scenery, and building fully landscaped layouts most enjoyable about the hobby. Molding and casting custom car bodies and parts is another aspect of the hobby I like but it can get challenging, labor intensive, and costly. It has taken me a good amount of trial & error to finally have reached the point where I am satisfied with the quality of my castings.
I have made some performance parts for the serious racers out there, namely my replacement shoe and brush springs for the T-Jet and AFX chassis. They are FRAY approved and even won the HO Product of the Year award in 2009. I'm very thankful to all the racers who use my springs and help me keep them available for the hobby.
My focus for 2018 is to concentrate on making new bodies that have never been made and hard to find replacement parts to repair cars with missing parts. Also on my list for this year's goals is to build two small themed layouts. The first will be a short road race track and the second a desert off road layout. I've already started the first and my plan is to debut this one at the America On Wheels show in June.
Happy Motoring!
