Not 100% up on the chassis. Did they not do a 3 gear and a 4 gear slimline?
Could be wrong but thought they did the 3 gear slimline but not many of them.
How is Bob B doing? I have not seen him in years.

Nope, no 4 gear slimline. I'm surprised that you don't have a few slimlines sitting around Al. Nice score Al.

Maybe I do! Got boxes of stuff left over from when I was a kid! When Model Motoring came out my Dad went nuts and torn down the Lionel train layout in the basement and replaced it with Model Motoring. Wish I had pictures of it. It filled a the basement. When I left the nest he boxed it all up and put it in storage. He passed in 2000 and Mom in 2013 so I moved everything up from Florida. There is a least 50 boxes of the 9" straight track and boxes of cars and trucks. Some are the old vibrator chassis I think. May have to go search out!!!

Alan I know tho was your dads stuff but if you decide you have any track or really anything you want to sale let me know I may be interested. Please pm me if you do thanks.
Al, I really like the rail it screams nostalgia. I am still pretty young but in my opinion its hard to beat the looks of vintage dragsters. I think I would have to turn that into a cha cha car don't see many replicas of her cars.

Al he never did call I still haven't built anything yet I'm looking at parts mow from wizzard I'm looking at a custom wind arm. 0.70 ohm. Stiff chassis with silver big foot system with shunts and looking at bearings as we speak for arm. I haven't decided on magnets yet I'm trying to decide between a high power poly or low power neo.
