Hi Folks,
Good news! After nine months of relentless searching and multiple disappointments, the Good LORD shed GRACE on me & my family and led us to our next home. God is good... and I'm hoping that I will have a hobby space again real soon. The closing is set for the end of March and I'm looking forward to settling in, setting up, and enjoying the hobby once again.
I will be at the Toy Show this coming Saturday 3/2/19 being held in Merchant Square Mall in Allentown.
I also reserved at table at the AMERICA ON WHEELS MUSEUM SLOT CAR SHOW, on Saturday, June 1st.
Hope to see you there!
Happy Motoring,
Dr. Oogan

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.
