Great layout.

Nice! Do know if the current bachmann train tracks are compatible w/ the 1969 Aurora model motoring train crossing?

I grew up as a 60's T-Jet garage race kid, saving up my $40 lawn mower money until I could buy the Aurora Stirling Moss 4 lane Thunderjet 500 Championship Race Set and I continue to this day racing HO cars only now in clubs with faster magnet cars and on professionally made tracks. The days of Aurora, Tyco and Auto World's Catalogue have long past, but the hobby has grown to become even larger, more expensive and more technically advanced but the memory from the sweet scent of Aurora's red motor oil lingers on.

Awesome

How to see this race take place on the Ed Sullivan show.I wonder if having these popular drivers which came from all walks of auto racing helped the hobby and how did sales of slot car track race sets.😊

Awsome Layout !

Watching Sir Jackie run around a wet skidpad with a 1987 Mustang Gt drifting if with ease told me he's from a different planet in terms of driving skillset.

Very cool

What a classic!😊

Thanks for sharing!

Interesting how Stewart had been doing tv ads for Aurora before this ... hmmm. I think l could have beaten them all in Junior high in 1970. They don't punch it down the straight. 😅

Holy Cow what a Lineup ... 4 of the Most Popular Drivers of ALL time. Thanks for sharing !

I'm surprised that Aurora had a routed track rather than a Model Motoring sectional track. They should have had the track plastered with big promotional letters

Sad thing is...without a staggered start or a double cross over the inside lane has an advantage....however Gurney couldnt keep the tires on the road...as Jackie would say 🤣🤣

Unbelieveable,perfect layout,love it

Nicely done. Great looking layout.

Aurora better throw you some sort of promotion money.

I LOVE IT!!!

CLEAN SET UP

The guy who made this diorama, he’s got some mad skills. I don’t think that I’d be able to pull it off. I’d like for him to tell me how he did it.

Check mine out. Sunnyslope speedway

Nice city track

That is very stellar! Had the crossing as a kid. How amazing the track looks after about 60 years. Nice job. Wont let me get notifications, but subbed.

Love this video of great champion drivers. I still race my t-jets at 65 years old. Check out Sunnyslope speedway.

Looking good!

😎👍

I'm jealous! New sub!

💐 'Promo sm'

Fantastic work, this is incredible! Thanks for sharing!

Very cool!!

Like the road race rail concept. 👍👍😎🇺🇸

Awesome. I can see the train stopping in Pottsville to pick up some Yuengling. Absolutely incredible layout.

Stellar!👍👍😎🇺🇸

We all knew back in the 60s-70s that someday we'd have a great looking layout like this. This hobby stays with you and grows as your imagination and creativity evolves. Outstanding work.

Wonderful! Thanks.

Nice Layout with cool Faller Buildings.

Nice

Great track set up

Sad, didn't wasn't Ken Miles killed the month before this aired? Great man.

Lloyd Bridges? I will bet he had a slot car track, in a room full of scuba gear! I liked this, thanx.

Did Ed Sullivan always shuffle about nervously like he needed the toilet? Did Jackie keep the $5000 or donate it to charity? All that talent in one room and no interviews…?

Aurora and AFX HO slot car racing sets were as popular with kids in the 60’s as video games are today. I remember going to my friends house and bringing my slot cars to race. We’d have a piece of plywood on top of the old pool or ping pong table in the basement on which we’d build our layout and race all day. What fun. 50 years later I’m still racing! Thank you for the video. Loved it.

cool bro great job loved the ending!

Love that teaser ending.

I had an AFX,TCR and US 1 Electric Trucking sets in my childhood. Wish I still had them ..

Excellent,brings back many happy memories,thank you

You are living my dream.👍

I’ve always thought the old Aurora/Model Motoring track made excellent HO roadway complete with markings, cobblestones and guard rails. This layout is proof I was right. Well done sir.
