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...

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...

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/

Retired in 1959 and found in a museum in California, this Big Boy locomotive was restored by the Union Pacific. She weighs over 1 million pounds and is going on a tour of the US.
