The Mike Strike includes the Kellogg hopper with the RED A&B...! I kind of want to pick that one up sometime.

Chops with the nice Eggo piece. A nice lady seller in California sent me that one as a gift many years ago from buying an $86 slot car track lot from her.

Good stuff guys!

Both Kelloggs hoppers seem to be fairly common Chops. No price difference from one to the other that I have noticed...

Hey, Mike... I received the Nomad for Christmas a few years ago from my nephew in his early 30s. He has a lot of train stuff in boxes as many do. It is an Auto World slot car created from AFX's old 57. I had quite a bit of stuff as a kid. Now reliving it with tons more than I was able to afford as a kid...

I to had my HO slot cars in the late 60"s and early 70's. I one set I remember the most was a Aurora set called the pretzel bender. It had 4 cars with working headlights. You could build two layouts. A four lane layout or a two lane pretzel shaped layout. One of the neat features was the banked curving on the two lane layout.

There's a lot of nice cars here this week I need to be on the hunt for most of those. Those pickle cars are
getting hard to find now I found this one in a hobby shop missing some pieces.
