One of you photoshop wizards should do something with the moon eyes on that last shot https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Old Street Scenes

I have some original photos coming in and since I got my new scanner/printer/copier hooked up wirelessly, I will scan some new additions within the next week or so. Until then, keep these coming!

I'm not a wizard by any means, but the power of suggestion is a good motivator! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Christmas 1969. I finally got my slot car set, an Aurora Model Motoring "Golden Gate Bridge" set, and it came with the LeMans Alfa Romeo in blue and the McLaren in green. I went down to my buddy's house for a few hours after breakfast and when I got home my dad had already fully assembled the track and mounted it on a plywood sheet with 12-inch legs so it was up off the floor. He and my sisters were racing the cars and having a great time. Hours of great fun with pop and my sisters and buddies followed over the next few years. Finally sold it, intact and still mounted to the plywood table, to a co-worker in 1985. I kept the 30-ish Model Motoring and A/FX cars though and I still have them. I see the new 1/32 stuff in the hobby shops today and it's all I can do not to drop the bucks on a new setup.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Great time capsule still.
I had nearly the exact same set up..

Do IT! Get a 1/32 scale setup. I had AFX as a kid and picked up a Scalextric set a couple of years ago and the kids and I have a blast with it. Still have an AFX setup that I need to get up and running again.

Re: Old Street Scenes

My dad had built a couple 4' x 8' tables out of plywood, and we had an HO Scale train layout (no scenery) and an HO Scale slot car track on the same L-shaped layout. The greatest part was that we had the HO scale train crossing, which allowed the HO cars to cross. We had a little trip switch to make the scale railroad crossing lights flash. We had hours of fun, as my brothers used to race each other on the car layout, using Tyco and AFX cars, and I would control the ol' Burlington Northern, towing about 6 rail cars.

Yep, I thought I was in control driving that train. Big Chief Engineer. I'd slow way down as it passed the crossing, my brothers waiting impatiently with their 2 HO cars until the caboose finally crossed....then they resumed full throttle and their race for a few laps until my train came around again....

The fun ended when they realized a Tyco Pro brass chassis McLaren M20, and a similar Chaparral 2J, traveling at high speeds, could knock over an entire HO train at that crossing. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gifI will echo DO IT !!! Life is SHORT !! Get that AFX track or Trains or drum set!! My wife had trains when she was a kid and she always yacked about them. So I went out and picked up four lionel sets and laid them out on a folding 4x8 platform. I used to break them out every year for Christmas, haven't seen them in a few years but know with Grandkids they will probably come out again this year! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Looks like Michael J. Fox, back from the future.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to catch that! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

No one ever said anything about the Superbird hiding in this photo a couple of weeks ago!

My guess is that may be Woodstock ? -- there was a Church down the road from me in Shrub Oak (Westchester County) NY that raffled off a yellow superbird -- about 2 hours south of Woodstock -- Could it be the same Bird ???
