How old are the matchbox cars? Made in England? "Superfast' were made to compete w/HotWheels. Older ones have solid wheels...

My boys and I do HO scale trains and slot cars- an old friend gave me back the slot cars I had in the 70's and then I found out that there are level crossings made for HO trains and slot car track. Its a nice way for the boys to see what happens when you try to out race the freight to the crossing.

I personally collect lionel so the N is of no use to me. the hot wheels / matchbox arnt super old id say the oldest date on the bottom i saw was 1976 but from what the nice people at google tell me that just means that "model" has been produced since then not when they were made

I always wanted to put together an xmas display. I like the n gauge stuff but have never owned any. I might be interested if the package price is reasonable

I love N gauge railroad stuff. When my son was little, I gave him a set for Christmas one year and we spent the next year building a layout for it with mountains, rivers, bridges, and all the little houses and buildings to go along with it.

I remember there was also a Z gauge in model railroading. The whole layout including scenery all fit into a brief case.

someday I want to get back into this. Somewhere in boxes are my HO and N scale trains, my dad and I got into G scale when I was younger and he really took off with it.

I have N gauge Minitrix sets (from Germany, yes ) back in my home country that I left when I migrated.




I'd love to create another set but I don't have the space for these. The sets I have are sets A, B and C from Minitrix plus a various assortment of additional engines and cars.

I loved building the scenery and little buildings for the layout. I have no idea what became of all that stuff. My grandfather taught me a lot about trains. He was REALLY into it and had them running all over his basement. His layout was written up in Model Railroader magazine at some point.
