Now some of you might think I'm leaving my scale 143 I'll be getting a 132 scale Carrera track digital it will be a small set but I'm just adding it to run my 143s I just don't like how narrow the track is some of my LMP's have a hard time passing and since I can't find Abarth/Fiat's and seat/fiats in my 143 scale and some other vehicles that I want that aren't made for 143 I'm adding 132 to my hobby.

The Digital will be able to run analog just by a flick of a 4DTP switch and I'll be able to run my 143s and when my friends come over they will be able to pass one another without bumping or causing the other car to crash.

For timing I'm going to go with what Harry uses I checked the lap timing system out and it seems to be (pardon the old expression) the cats meow when the digi gets here I'm going to give the demo a try and see how it goes.

The new track is a great idea.
There are a lot of different body styles for the Abarth/Fiat and the seat/Fiat.
Would you consider a resin cast body from a diecast?

All of those are the ones that are on my must have list.

My cousin who was station in Italy brought a seat/fiat 600 home and I just loved the way it looked and the sound was real cool and to see the peoples faces when the little car passed them like they where driving nothing at all was a lot of fun to a kid of 10 yrs old.

Thanks Retro, I know about the scale difference in the Carrera the fact is that the 132 Carrera track scale is 124 with the lane or slot grove set to the minimum of 3 7/8" for the 124 scale which is ok in my book cause that way I'll have a track that I can have three different scales available to run in digital or analog without having to change to another track which is part of my slot car plan.

That way when I start to build my double table, I'll have two different scale tracks one for my HO and one for my fave 143 with a bonus I'll be able to get some digital cars to run when two or more of my friends show up at the same time and no one will get that I'm being left out feeling.
