Slot Cars & Model Train Layout: Chicago & North Western

Model Railroad & Slot Car HO Racing Layout: Cars in video: Ford Crown Victoria Sherriff Patrol car (AFX Tomy Super G+ inline motor/drive.) vs. Cadillac 1959 Ambulance red/white (Auto World 4 Gear Ultra G). HO Scale Trains in video: Chicago and North Western (CNW) Life-like Proto E7 and E-8 (Rivarossi) EMD Diesel Locomotive Engines and nine CNW passenger cars (Walthers). Both slot cars (AFX & AW 4Gear) worked well and were fun to run around the track, they stayed on the track very well going quite fast in speed on the straightaway tracks. The cars had nice range of speeds on the Parma controllers, so they could be slow through the curves and also sprint on straightaways. The slot cars scraped by each other in the squeeze track and bumped each other a few times. In practice the Crown Vic had spun out on curves and did not get to use its speed advantage as much, so was driven more carefully or slower to avoid mishaps and keep from falling behind. Both cars have good down force to keep on road. They even held down banging through the squeeze track (compared to other cars). Video is not at all in order or continuous, with only one camera on tripod that was moved around to various view angles during the race and the clips were edited and intermingled. We do more like "road rally" than race, like the rally races that go through cities and towns and country roads the speed limit. More like a road rally to drive to control the car, and winning is to keep going, and skillful driving to stay on road the most, not go off and hit the wall or worse, go on the floor. It is sort of like old "model motoring" I have never been to a NASCAR race ever. I have only seen "press on regardless" rally races driving in towns and cities. The on-board train segments were made with a GoPro camera lashed on a flat car. The layout is still double fun, running trains, racing cars and then making videos. It is interesting that Hollywood movie maker Orson Welles said about the movie studios and backlots in Hollywood, “This is the biggest electric train set a boy ever had!”
