Prob be best to post pix of what you have. I have a permanent soldered and glued together large 4 lane setup. So the track doesnt interest me. The cars do tho

Whatcha want for the porsche 917, and the ferrari 512. Are these magnatraction chassis?? You can see red and white painted magnets from the underside. These cars would be worth a little bit more if they were lighted "flame thrower" cars. Theres clear bezels for the headlights, but no bulb socket in those bodies, as noted by the open vents in the hood areas. The lighted ones of these are moulded with this area closed so they could place a bulb. I am interested in these as i have both of their counterparts in lighted configuration, but would be cool to have them in non lighted as well to get closer to completing the collection

These are all fairly common cars. The readers digest mail order only Petty charger with G plus chassis, or the rebel charger are a holy grail of AFX cars. The black shadow can am is so common, i can buy the body new in lots of 6 from slot car central for about $6

The peace tank, and woodie on the specialty chassis are all fairly common. They all look to be in good condition with all the pieces intact. Except for the broken off barrel on the peace tank.

I have a restored collection of these, that even tho they will run, i dont play with them. The plastic is now too brittle, and the bodies can shatter.

Ok i will try. Got a lot of em on my android, but for some reason it never lets me upload from phone to fabo to post.

Its 35' wound around on a 2x4 framed 4x8 platform. It folds into the wall. All the rails are soldered and glued with plastiweld solvent cement every seam is moulded and bedded together. Track is painted with grey laquer primer. Lanes are striped red, white, blue, yellow with paint markers. I used moss green felt for infield grass. Made guard rail barriers out of flexible white painted plastic sheet. Even put 3" tall plexiglass borders around the table.
Each lane is wired for dynamic braking, and each lane uses its own seperate 26 volt power supply so no power surges. I use a trakmate lap timer program run thru an old dell desktop with windows 98. The homemade lap counter gantry is plugged into the printer port of the old tower.

I will try to get pix to this thread tho.
Matt
