Latest arrivals
Revell Ferrari 250 GTO body shell.
The body is complete but the exhaust pipes aren't chromed and and it uses self tapping screws rather than set screws and inserts.

A pair of VIP controllers
Not sure if they are the correct ones for my VIP set but as I believe it's a late set they could be.

Tamiya Lotus 30 kit, just right for converting to a slot car.

Strombecker chassis

Three of these Scalextric Powersledge chassis.

A not very shiny Revell Ferrari 250 GTO.

Car updates
Decided to give most of my older 1/43rd scale Artin, Carrera Go and SCX Compact cars a run on th Monte Carlo layout. First problem I encountered was that most of the tyres on the Artin and a lot of the Carrera Go cars had gone hard. However with a little bit of tyre swopping I managed to get most of the runners to work and they all managed to get around the layout. Most of the cars proved very difficult to control and I had to reduce the voltage to 6V for the Artin cars and 9V for Carrera Go and SCX Compact cars. With the reduced voltage the cars handled quite well on the Monte Carlo layout. I will just need to get some replacement tyres now.
Track update
17/12/2020
I've now dismantled the Airfix test track and build upo an Airfix Monte Carlo Rally layout in it's place. I've used the spare mountain scenery set I received the other day and spare track to build the layout.
