I've asked before, it's fallen on deaf ears. I'll try asking here.
Have any of you out there integrated your old "HO" Aurora or Faller AMS slot cars into your present layouts as was popular in the 60's?
There are two outfits, one in Pennsylvania, the other in Missouri who have revived production of Aurora Thunderjet 500 sets, cars and PARTS. Take a look;

If you don't remember them, the pictures will give you a jolt. I had mine in the 70's with one car running in either direction at a scale speed (slow). It looked pretty sharp with the room lights out and the layout lights on to occasionally see a single car pass between the buildings.
I've been getting parts from a local hobby shop who orders from these two firms and I'm going to resuscitate my old Thunderjets into the layout I'm presently building. I've been able to purchase some track at shows and I was told that Faller AMS items that show up at shows disappear mighty fast.
Let's hear from you!
