Alan,

 

I was out of this marvelous hobby since the seventies, and just by casuality I discover that the hobby is still alive.

 

Your site is one of the first that I saw in this medium and I want to thank you for the information that you posted because it is a refresher for my memory after all this years.

Your track is very simple and impressive and it is a motive of inspiration for me and my future track because I have a little space for the construction. Thank you again,

and see you later .

 

Regards,

 

Ernesto.

Hi Alan, love your site, especially the guide to enhancing classic Fly's.
I see you have had good results with BWA wheels and inserts and I have a shopping list of my own for them. However I can't see any contact or "buy now" links on the BWA site. Do you know a good online source for them apart from the main site? I hope they haven't gone out of business! Thanks for any info you have on them,
Ronan

You have a great site kinda make me wonder if i can build a winner like those you have. I guess it's all about patients and knowing what you have to do, I'll take a chance one day and do something like this if anything i'll try changing stuff and the NISSAN 390 with a change of motor and andf axles i guess is this possible i hope you can give me some hints in what i really need for this. I also wanted to find out what type of paint do you use to paint the cars. I lik eyour LMP'S slotcars really eye catching.

Hi Alan,
I noticed that you have made the can am wolf dallara, I have been looking for this kit for a while now, the larger version with wheels. I am not a slot car guy but am looking for a model of this car the only other one I know of was a Ghost model which is out of production. I was wondering if you might know where I could pick this up here in canada.
thanks for your time

Intensely cool Alan, one can go out and buy any ready to run slot car but scratch builds are particularly special, its the only one in the world, I have a few hundred that I have built and restored over the years and so your site was of particular appreciation to me. Thanks again, I may email a few photos of mine, Jim

Hi Beejay7, this is BN1.5! I'd prefer this not to be published thanks Alan. Thanks for a great site. May I ask for your advice please? I'd like to re-colour a red Scalextric Maser. 250F to Masten Gregory's colours of white with blue stripes and wonder if you have done this sort of respraying. The details are so fine that I guess it won't stand much sanding and a good opaque white u/coat is also likely to kill details. What would you do and what paint would work best? Hope you can help.
Thanking you and kind regards, [Healey] Rod.

Hi there,

Saw some of your messages on slot forum and was looking for some help.

I want to build my Proto Slot Penske Porsche 917 30, but I am having a devil of a time finding wheels that will fit this car. It seems you have some good advice. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,
