Some vintage slot car buildings from the train show

[BRP32]

I went to Railfest today which is a huge model rail road show by me and I found some neat things for my slot car tracks.

First I found this old Aurora Judges stand. Very cool and a nice addition to any vintage ho track layout!



I also bought this hot dog stand for my concession area also. Very cool!




Last but not least I always wanted a lionel train set for under the Christmas tree. I bought a complete train layout with this lionel steam engine set complete along with a bunch of O gauge buildings and scenery from the show today also. It was a lot of fun. I met a guy the next town over from me into slot cars and trains and he had a lot of ho cars for sale also. He knows the owner Bob at BADLHOBBY by us and will be joining the ho racing fun regularly also. Overall a very good time and show to go to. I find many useful slot car accessories at train shows. Always worth a look!

:D :D :D :D :D :D

Nice finds Wayne! I sold a vintage Lionel set a few years ago for some good coin. I needed the money at the time. I kind of wish I still had it.

Hey guys!

Rusty, your train and slot car layout at Christmas really inspired me!

I've wanted a Lionel steam train set for many years but the cheapest I could acquire a new set for was about $200.

When I seen the gentleman selling a whole layout with the set, and buildings and scenery as a package I jumped on it.

I'm as giddy as a school girl now and like a little kid at Christmas!!!!!!

The vintage ho slot building was the icing on the cake today!!!!!

:D :D :D

Hey Wayne, looks like you picked up some cool stuff. I visited the show on Saturday and bought some lock and joiner track and a bunch of landscaping materials for my new Figure 8 track. I also picked up a service station and an HO-scale roll back truck for a diorama I am building.

I, too, go to all the train shows. It seems like there is always someone there who has some slot car stuff for sale.

Nice stuff! I really dig the old buildings!

Hey Craig!

Yeah, the guy you bought the lock and joiner track from had the vintage judges stand I purchased. He had a pile of the old track and was trying to make me a deal on it. I use the newer tomy track.
I had a blast at the train show looking at all the layouts and I dipped my toe back into the o scale train arena also by buying a complete o gauge layout off a gentleman.

I look forward to the next train show in a week or so I believe at a school in Parma.

Happy Hunting!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
