I stumbled upon this Youtube channel that's devoted to 1/64 die cast car racing. These videos are well done. They have a Facebook page where folks can submit their cars for each series. This is the type of track we all dreamed we had as kids. Check out this 2019 Championship race [video=https://www.yo...

Some cool stuff coming out for you collectors and model builders. It's too bad the Chevy II wasn't released with parts to build an Acadian. I've emailed the company a couple of times suggesting they come out with a Canadian Muscle series but haven't ever received any sort of reply. [video=https://ww...

I rode one of these many times before getting my drivers licence. These HO scale buses are made by a high end Canadian model train manufacturer called Rapido. They are taking pre-orders for London Transit. I had to order one for nostalgia sake (Route 2 Dundas of course) Excellent detail! [video=htt...

I mentioned on another thread that I had purchased an old Mantua-Tyco locomotive kit from the late 1950's-early 1960's. It arrived a week ago from Ontario. After a quarantine period I opened it. Sadly the seller showed a lack of intelligence and shipped it in a padded envelope instead of a box (I know I...

This isolation isn't all bad. It took a few days but it finally gave me a kick in the butt. When I was a small boy, one thing I loved was when the local Shell bulk agent delivered heating fuel to our farm. I always stood outside with him as he patiently filled our oil tank in the basement through the pipe that...

Restoring old die cast toys (Hotwheels, Matchbox, Dinky, Corgi etc) is becoming a popular hobby with many Youtube channels and Facebook pages devoted to it. I thought I'd have a go at doing a simple restomod using two beat up Matchbox trucks. Here's what I started with: The yellow truck was a Dodge s...

I came across this vintage 1975 Hot Wheels "Neet Streeter" that has a factory error. It should have larger rear wheels but was assembled with the smaller front wheels on the back. They are so small the casting drags on the ground. Poor kid that had it must have lost a lot of races with it! Maybe it's worth a...

Just found this site that lists all the LEGO Technic sets ever made. All I can say is it's a good thing I'm not a collector! Some of these sets fetch big money (as I found out when scanning eBay..) http://www.technicopedia.com/
