Hi Folks,
It has been a while since my last update but I haven't had much hobby time. I did attend the Eddie Sachs Memorial Slot Car Show at the America On Wheels Museum in Allentown, PA. on June 4th and brought my semi finished small layout for fun. I'll get it finished one of these days. There is talk about changing the date of the show for next year. When I know more, I will post something here. It is a nice museum to check out because they change the vehicles every six months and do bring in some unique cars.
I'll post some more hobby updates soon. In the meantime, have fun collecting, building and racing your slot cars.

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, Tyco, 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.
Happy Motoring!
