Hi all, Since I closed the store I have some time to concentrate on slot car shows. I will be at the Lehigh Valley show in Palmer on November 9th and the NJ Parsippany show on November 24th. I will be bringing my usual DS controller selection, lots of HO silicone tires and all of my Bauer/1970 Racing/PS Slot/Vincent cars as well as lots of fresh slot cars and parts in all scales. Hope to see you there! If you have any special requests for items for me to bring to the show give me a call at 908-322-2676. If no answer please leave a message and I will get back to you. Joe

Website page updates
I have started updating pages on this website, a process which will take many months. I just updated the t-jet parts page making note for the first time of my havingl MANY pieces of original t-jet chrome rescued from otherwise damaged original bodies, usually with 90% or more good finish. I also have some excellent reproduction parts. I did not list these pieces of chrome as most are only in stock in small numbers. Call me at 908-322-2676 or e-mail to njhobby@aol with requests and I will get back to you.
I have also updated the Aurora Model Motoring track page MOST TRACK IS NEW OLD STOCK- some excellent/used, some is in boxes some not/supplied as available
I will be updating the Scalextric 1/32 track page (analog and digital) shortly as well. Check here for updates.
BAUER MGB CONVERTIBLE HO SLOT CAR SNOW BERRY WHITE FULL INTERIOR WOW!
Just when I thought Bauer couldn’t add more detail to their already spectacular offerings along comes their latest. This MGB roadster body would never have worked on a stock t-jet or similar clone chassis so it sits on the new Bauer UL (ultra low) chassis. This allows the car to have a full interior with hand painted driver complete down to his knees. Examine the pictures carefully to see the many details featured on this model. Price reflects Euro to dollar conversion including shipping costs from Europe. Examine pictures closely as they are part of the description. E-mail questions.
$119.99
NOTE: I ONLY SHIP ON WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAYS.
The long or short wheelbase version of the new Bauer UL (ultra low) chassis is available separately for $31.99.
