Hi Folks,
A few new things...
I did make another small batch of tires for the Tyco Stomper so get them while you can. I will make more eventually when this batch goes but I've got several other projects I've got to focus on so it may be a while.
The knobby style tires that came on the Tyco/ Mattel Bandit Nissan Pick Up mold is done and I should have a small batch of these ready in a week or so. I'm quite pleased with the result at how the tire material was able to capture all those knobs around the tire.
The new mold for the Tyco Tow Truck & Fire Truck light bars has been made. I'm going to work on casting this weekend... If all goes well, I will have some light bars again.
The scenery on my little test track is still coming along slowly... still building the mountains. I plan to take some pictures and post them as well. At some point, I plan to rearrange some things on this hobby site to freshen it up a bit.
Stay safe everyone... 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.
Happy Motoring!
