Uncle DT's Random Image Thread

[Kruger]

Ok, so I was not that familiar with Carrera slot cars.  My uncle had a large set in his basement that were really cool, too, though I doubt they were Carrera.  So I learned that Carrera is part of Ravel, so that might be why the hobby shop had that brand.  But it also looks like AFX and Carrera play in different spaces too.  AFX are HO scale and are much faster than a scaled up car.  Think more like twitch arcade action, where as Carrera have a few different scale sizes and they are closer to scale speed and physics.  So they provide a more accurate racing physics experience.  Did the hobby shop have model trains and focus more on Lionel and not HO scale as well?  Where is the hobby shop?  The one that I am/was familiar with was the Train Exchange in Manchester...
