Aurora AFX = Fun!
 

Picked these up cheap. No cars, but lots of track. Used to race them a lot as a kid. Maybe have to set up a track around the Xmas tree this year. Now to find some cars, they're usually pilfered and sold separate from the sets. They can get expensive. Didn't know if any other Pelicans messed with slot cars...

i had an AFX track and cars back when i was about 4-6yo. i loved it. i had a couple of really really nice aftermarket cars to go with the track, along with the cars it came from. i'd love to have that track again. i plan on getting some track and cars together for my son. i am going to set it up, semi-permanently, in our spare room.

I have a a tyco track that takes up like 4ftx8ft all set up. Freaking awesome. But one of the controllers is dead. :(

I have a 914 for that track:D

Sweet!!
I bought 2 slot cars from a local consignment store last weekend.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1320188305.jpg

I will dig out our track during the winter and test them out.:D

This may be the earliest memory to the start of my motorheadery....

Or is that gearheadism?

Those are nice cars! I'm looking to get a couple of 917's (Gulf, RC Cola). Lots of neat cars out there..

yep... me too!

My blue one is a Ferrari, right?

This is the place I got them- www.carsantiquesandmore.com.

It's a mile from where my wife works so don't be shy if you see something you want picked up. :)

I've been collecting these for years ... very easy to get addicted :) I'll find some pics of my collection and post them later.

Where did you find the Pink Pig ? I've never seen one of those in this scale before.

I started with the vibration cars in 62 all fords at first
then the dc motor Aurora "Thunderjet-500" HO chassis way before AFX
briefly had 1/32 cars and tracks
then the commercial 1/24 scale tracks began to pop up everywhere
and I spent way too much time and cash on them
even got to the team and sponsor level racing for cash
then poof it was gone

there was such a thing?

Here, although not sure if the cars are for sale. Cool stuff though!

Tons of H.O. cars on ebay... HO Scale | eBay

Or you can visit your local hobby shop and get some right off the rack.

AFX used to have semi's as well. Much fun...

Very nice. I picked up the AFX "Pit Row Special" set at an estate sale a couple months ago for 5 bucks. I found cars at the local hobby shop--they ran about 15.00 each--picked up a 71 GTX, 55 Nomad, 64 Super stock, and 71 Blazer--fun to monkey around with.
