        The 1/24th scale KITTY set was made in Switzerland by the Gimelli company. This was the 1st set they produced. It is a very good quality set. The track is very large and the controllers are very nice. The 1st set had 2 Lotus 34 cars from 1964. They were made by Eldon specifically for Kitty in green & red. Colors never issued in the USA. The Eldon cars were their more upscale version with a 12 volt motor, metal wheels & gears. The 2nd later version of the set used 2 Ferrari 158 cars ( 1 red & 1 blue ) supplied by Otaki of Japan. Finally they did made their own car, a thingie called the Spyder in red & yellow . I also posted a photo of the 4 cars we have here. Not many of these cars & sets are still around. Come visit the museum & see in person many rare & unique cars & sets ! If you can't, visit the museum website by googling bernards slot car museum]]>

       Here, from the slot car museum in Houston Texas are 3 different Hurricane sets in HO scale, 1/32nd scale, and 1/24th scale. These were actually made by Marusan in Japan and packaged in New Zealand to avoid high tariffs. The 1/24th scale set is the most common with a Lotus 25 and a Ferrari 156. Don't see as many 1/32nd scale sets for some reason. They had a Ford GT and a Porsche 904. The rarest set is the 4 lane HO scale set.This set had a Jaguar XKE, A Buick Rivera, a Ferrari GTO, and a Corvette Stingray. All 4 lane sets had only these cars. This is the only 4 lane set by Marusan / Hurricane ever made and is extremely rare. You will notice some of the internal packaging is written in Japanese. So it was shipped from Japan to New Zealand. While the outer box and instructions are in English. So these were manufactured in New Zealand. All the sets have all their paper work as well.]]>

These are very rare sets. The lettering on the briefcase in the lower right hand corner says in gold lettering "Racing Circuit SS/ Gauge". The transformers says Mitaka Sangyo. Sangyo translates to "industry" or "manufacturing" in Japanese and is a common suffix for many trading and industrial companies. Many Japanese companies released a slot car set in the 1960s using already made cars and track from other slot car manufacturers like the 2 rare Pioneer sets we have at the slot car museum. There is a Mitaka company that produced surgical instruments and telescopes , etc which may describe why this set has SS Gauge on the front of the suitcase. Well anyway these sets are leather covered briefcases with lined felt inside. The cars are a 1/32nd scale white BMW 507 ,a red Jaguar XK 120,a white Jaguar XK120, and a white Ford  Thunderbird. All of these cars and the controllers are made by Tokyo Plamo, though the track and fence look like Bandai. The hardtop cars use no clear plastic windows and have no interiors, no drivers, & no wheel covers so the cost can be kept down. The track has rails more for shoes instead of brushes. I could not find any information on these unique briefcase sets in any of my Japanese literature or on the internet. I would of course appreciate any help in finding out more about the company or history of these sets. Its strange that I have been collecting since 1989 & I have never seen or heard of this set and all of a sudden 2 sets appear within a month of each other. Collecting is strange sometimes

It was made by Lou J. Fageol of Detroit. The set sold for $200 in 1948 which is the equivalent of $ [b]2,425.69 today[/b]. Needless to say very very few of these early electric race sets were sold. So underneath the aluminum race track were 2 metal rails shaped in an oval. On these 2 parallel tracks ran 2 extremely heavy .metal type belt driven chassis with a spring loaded magnet. The magnet touched the underside of the aluminum track pulling the diecast race car by its steel steering unit. The set is 36 inches wide by 61 inches long and the cars are 4 1/2 inches long.  When running it makes a very loud noise. I show here the catalog which I think shows a prototype set because the placement of the speed controls are different and it shows a metal wall in the curves which mine never had. The last thing I show was an advertisement for the set in a 1948 Esquire mens magazine for Xmas. I want to thank Don and Chuck for helping me get this incredible set years ago. The only place so see this historical set is here at the museum in Texas !

      This just came into the slot car museum in Houston Texas . Its a 1/32nd scale Gakken race set. The box is huge ! Its 43 1/2 inches long by 19 inches wide. The set was made in 1965 in Japan. The set contains 2 Lotus 30s, 1 gold chrome and 1 silver chrome.The chassis are made for the 1st time in Zircon, a type of plastic which is advertised as lighter and stronger than other types of plastic. Gakken slot cars are very different from all other slot cars in that they were advised by the Tokyo Institute of Technology which is mentioned on the lower right hand corner of the slot car set.. A Professor of engineering by the name of Dr. Shigeo Okeya who is credited with 15 patents helped Gakken develop the cars. I show a photo of him as he appears in the slot car set manual. Gakken also made the set with non chrome Lotus 30s. They also made a 1/32nd scale Lotus 30 in a kit form and a 1/24th scale Ferrari 330P-2 ,both with the Zircon chassis. Later they made a 1/24th scale Ferrari 330P-2 and a Lola T70 with an aluminium chassis that is stamped with the letters PI which we also have at the museum. ]]>

[attachment=4584Here, from the slot car museum are 2 rare 1/32nd scale Lotus 11 race cars. They were made around 1963 in Japan by Sanwa. They used a 3 1/2 volt Kako motor. The cars were crude by even the standards of the period. The chassis ,wheels, and their mounts were extremely primitive. Yet they have a beauty that is unique. The drivers sit high and proudly in their seats and the headlights look as though they could brighten the night into day. They have defied time by surviving . Tokyo Plamo bought out Sanwa in 1964 and these slot cars stopped production.

               Here from the slot car museum is a 1/24th scale slot car set by Tamiya of Japan. The set has 2 trays containing the the parts ,one sitting on top of the other. The cars are Lola T70s. One is red and the other is blue. The set cars differ from the kit cars in that they are already assembled and painted by the factory. You can see the over spray in the photos of the underside of the 2 cars. The set contains enough track for a figure eight with borders and white fence. Check out more when you google bernards slot car museum. I am missing the cover top for the box which contains the fence and borders so if anyone has one I would be interested.]]>

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 !
