When my wife and I got married in 1965 we didn't have furniture in the living room of our apartment so we bought RC track and some cars and invited friends over who were in the same situation. Soon we all bought more track and cars and had quite the layout. It was fun on a low cost budget.
Me too. Loved it. I still have my controller and several cars.
I still have a few cars too. Mostly Aurora AFX and G+ cars. I had HO scale houses, trees and people all over the board. Then later turned it into an HO train layout. (OK, I'm 77, but STILL love to look at that stuff. HA!)

No wonder you're one of my HEROES Bob!
I've said it before Bob....your missus is obviously a perfect 10! Congratulations.
I think every car guy had slot cars at one time or another..... I had layouts right up to college and still have some "MIB" vintage & reproduction slot cars & boxes of junk cars/parts. I still need a few "perfect" vintage Aurora Vibrators (before Thunder-Jets ).
Thank you, thank you. 😎 😎 As I stated, I have more but I'm too lazy to dig them out. 🙄
Two quick notes:
1) When 1/32 slot cars were all the rage c.20 years ago, I helped my buddy build his mega layout and raced his 30 different cars. LOTS of fun!
2) As a kid, Marlowe Johnson owned the set/cars I always wanted (before my time ) but never had.... AMT Turnpike 1/25 slot cars used "promo" bodies!
Never got into the 1/32nd realm but there are some awesome cars in that scale! Did not know about the 1/25th. Figures that Marlowe, a car guy through & through, would have had them! Thanks for the layout here Chris!
