I thought i would put a rare ho scale set on. The set was the 1st set made by Tomy of Japan. The box top has 2 very weird looking kids racing.

The cars are Nissan Cedrics. The grills & bumpers are made of metal. The motor is a huge can type motor with a worm gear. The track is very unusual in that the figure 8 folds in half & is already assembled. The set also has 2 grandstands & 2 battery powered controllers. Hope you enjoy this rare set,Bernard

Wow, now that's a strange one Bernard! Wonder how they got it to fold right in the middle of the crossover?

I've seen that kind of art on other Japanese boxes... maybe they're trying not to have too typically "japanese looking" kids so they can do export sales, or maybe ???

Hi,

I just deleted Bernard's duplicate post on this same set... so you can post here!

This is an amazing set, surely it deserves some posts...

And thanks to our eagle-eyed SF readers, especially that Chapman chap.
