Houston Slot car Museum - museum - 1st-Jul-25

[attachment=41491][attachment=41491][attachment=41492][attachment=41492][attachment=41492]Hi, this is Bernard. I have a large slot car museum located in the Houston Texas area. The museum contains 1,000s of cars and 100s of sets. From 1912-modern and from all over the world in all scales. Here is a small sample of what is in the museum. All are welcome to visit.

Hi Bernard,

Great to see you here.

You really do seem to find the rarest and most unusual cars and sets. How on earth do you find some of them? Spies in Japan? Bigsmile

Thanks Kevan,I have been collecting since around 1988 or so. I have spent a little bit but whats money for if you can't use it to enjoy.

RE: Houston Slot car Museum - museum - 1st-Jul-25

Hi Gordon, I work really hard at finding them. Many rare sets and cars were sold 20-30 years ago and will probably never come up again for sale.So if I see a set today and I have never seen it before then I get it if I have the money at the time. I do search every day and have many contacts I have made over the years who also help me. My wife is Japanese by the way and has been very supportive.Also the harder you work at it the luckier you become. I do get guests from all over the world so if your in this neck of the woods come by and visit.

I would love to see the museum but I'm in France so popping in for a look is not that likely. Bigsmile

As George Best once said "I spent a lot of money on booze, women and fast cars. The rest I just squandered"
