Super-nice layout, red/white tape lovely feature.

This is at the "Decisions, decisions!" stage regarding chassis choice.  [attachment=39856]

Got these today from Roger barker Slots at the Musselburgh Toyfair.   First two are for my friend who likes cars from that era... Escort is for myself filling a gap in my RS1800 collection.  Le Mans ...

Anyway, back at the thread.  I love all cars that are rear-engined so got excited to see the title here.  Neat job, thanks for sharing. Leo [Image: https://slotracer.online/community/attac...?aid=3...

Hello antediluvian, The shortest measuring Carrera Go!!! car that I have measures at 54mm. Its the 6 Volt version of the Lightning McQueen cartoon car. I'm pretty sure that the chassis will take a 12...

Wonderful if SCX produce a model of the Lancia Ypsilon HF R4 car. Lancia are saying a lot of good things about it (of course) although there will not be a Lancia Team as such, only customer cars. Leo

Hello everybody, Once again Roger Barker will have a stand at the Toyfair on Saturday 8th February at Musselburgh Sports Centre.   For clarity, my interest is purely as a paying customer and slot-car...

Fabulous car in many respects both in 1:32 and 1:1.   Walter Rohrl rarely gets a mention in the UK but he is up there with the contenders for GOAT.

Good job Hub, nice work. Its a nice looking car in that livery. Leo

My home track has Race Coordinator through parallel port, works great. Race Coordinator can run in simple mode but does have a few quirks.

Hello Robbin, I am not aware of any lap counter/timing package that uses serial ports.    Race Coordinator has a very handy feature that shows the state of the parallel port and as I said has become...

Hello Robbin, I found a 9-way socket and dug out my Win 95 Laptop that I Used to use with Laptimer 2000...  It still works with the parallel/printer connection but I have not been able to get it to wo...

The latest Microsoft flop has been 'Cortana'.  Presumably like the Paperclip hardly anyone used it.

Cheers Robbin, I'll keep an eye open in case you have queries. Leo
