How about slot cars

Loved them! But was never too big into the racing part of it. I preferred cruising cool hot rods slowly around the track. Got the idea from my 2nd oldest brother to replace the stock slot car body with a model kit body. This way your choices were practically unlimited. Down size was, if they crashed, they'd break apart or lose pieces.

Maybe next year I can finally get going on the unfinished room here.

It’s only 400 square feet though but large to me. I would like some of that space for model railroads. Seeing these slot car tracks makes me think even more.

I wonder if the slot car and future city model from the 50’s Design For Dreaming survived?

I still have a model K5 blazer in the plastic I will get to someday.
