Bernards Slot Car Museum - museum - 14th-Oct-25
[attachment=43546][attachment=43547][attachment=43548][attachment=43549][attachment=43550][attachment=43551] My slot car museum is back up ! Just google bernards slot car museum. This the biggest site on the subject anywhere on the internet. It took me years to get it back up, but during this period I did, as administrator continue to add new cars and sets, so now that it is up its bigger than before. I am also trying to correct mistakes and upgrade everything I can . I try to cover everything I can in the museum but I am retired and on a fixed income so I am limited now in what I can buy. My great love are the cars and sets made between 1905 (the earliest sets made by Marklin) and 1960-61. Of course I like every period including modern. I was never a good racer so I tried to be a good collector. But I also felt the need to go beyond collecting and thus opened the museum here in Houston ( brick and mortar ) and on my web site so we could more fully share our interests and know more about the history of our hobby. I like all forms, from toy quality to some of the masterpieces produced today. My problem is I am not rich so I must be careful what I buy and the early stuff comes 1st, then the cars from the 1960s and so on. I am working on a new set from the 1960s. I will post it when its done. I list the newer stuff I got at the bottom on my main page. Feel free to contact me and visit. Enjoy !

I fid it astonishing that you find so many rare sets. The fact that your are not one of the rich guys doing it just makes it all the more exemplary.
Keep up the good work Bernard, I just wish I could visit but like you, I am retired and on a fixed income so it ain't gong to happen
