I remember HO race cars but not trucks. I also remember them being slotted, with rails for the electricity...

When I was 5 or 6, my father took me over to a neighbors house to see his hobby. It was building extremely precise house models. I was a kid but never forgot the excruciating detail.

If you are referring to Northlandz in N.J. we went there right after they opened and have been back several times since. The last time we went the exhibits were getting run down and it appears that the visitors have wreaked some havoc.

As far as I know, an "El" is simply elevated train tracks. That is what we called them here in New York City.

Beautiful!

But I don’t think I would want to live in that neighborhood, what with trains rumbling by all day and night.

But I love the sound of a Diesel horn off in the distance late at night!

Just a giant THANK YOU to all the trains, planes and automobile posters on FreeRepublic. You help me impress my hubby and my grandsons with my reading material. I would never be able to find the good stuff you all post on my own! Thanks. ❤️

......a couple of cop cars lights flashing and swat vehicles on one of the street cornes with a hostage situation would convince me...(reduce the constant horn blowing)

Beautiful!

Just out of curiosity, where do trains run on the roads like that? I might expect to see trolley cars.

You’re most welcome. Glad you enjoy the posts. :)

Below is a link to the Google search results for my car pics on FR, plus a few other unrelated pics. Not sure why they show up on the search.

Maybe the unfinished room can get some model railroad capability.

Was wondering the same thing myself. Sorry, don't know.
