My Gaydon Slot Car Market visit 2023 

Some interesting projects coming up there Rob. Great viewing ahead.

Hi there over on the Isle. You got yourself a lot of nice Stuff from the Wintershow in Gaydon, Rob. Awesome Vettes you got, I love Vettes myself since I was a kid. We had a few running in my old home-town Bremerhaven, because we had a US Post in Bremerhaven and in Garlstedt, that is about 20 Kilometers away from Bremen. I got the chance to get a ride in a C3 in the 80`s when I was hitch hiking home from Garlstedt to Bremerhaven. Also a good friend of mine and his colleque had two C1`s. I was flashed ever since by Corvettes. Any way, the two Carrera Streamliners you got have a hint in the box, which means, the Aerodynamic Wheelcovers are removable. They are Exclusive models and Ortmann has some replacement PU`s for them. Your Models are from the Carrera Exclusive System and in the Ortmann List they are listed as Evolution/Digital Car Tires, at 1/32 scale. For the Mercedes W125 Avus 1937 it would be the Tire-No. 33w for the rear and the 33cv for the front. For the Auto Union Typ C Avus 1937 the same Tires work, as well. They will run on the Carrera Evolution Analog track at 14,8Volts and 2Amps on the secondary DC side of the power supply. I am looking forward for your projects and I hope I could help you to find replacement Tires for the Streamliners. The old ones should not be good anymore to run the cars.

Looking forward to seeing all your future projects

Nice buys Rob and it was great to see you at the show, looking forward to seeing what kind of creations come from that haul for sure! 💯

Looks like you had an amazing day at Gaydon, I would love to go to a show like this ,i would buy a ton of older cars that I used to have many years ago 😀 love the little Corolla and the pure white Chevrolet. Enjoyed watching you doing fine detail work on the lathe 👍 ...Harry

Enjoyable day out, no snow problems, collected my pre orders from Pendle, then I let myself down, only spent £138 with other traders 😉🤣🤣🤣. Seemed plenty of folding was changing hands, soon be Swindon then Milton Keynes.

Nice job on your friends broken wheels 👍😎

That’s a Brilliant Haul you get Rob. I can’t wait for all the new videos,especially the 3 lane Oval track 👍. Plus it was nice to actually meet you as well 👍

Nice haul from the show.

Hi Rob great to meet you Sunday,what a nice guy you sre 😎 wow you pocked up quite a haul can't wait to see the progress you make with it all. 👍👍👍👍

that is a Scaleauto Viper Body nice find Rob

At 6:08 the body shell is almost certainly Scaleauto. Looks like a vac formed interior whereas Carrera make the interior very strong and heavy for some reason. The livery very similar to one of my Scaleauto 1/32 Vipers. So looks like you have the exact chassis designed for it. I also have the same Carrera Auto Union and Mercedes streamliners in both 1/24 and 1/32 scale. I made the same choices for a few other cars you have.

Great haul there and looking forward to seeing what you do with the transit van.

Hi Rob...hydrodip DS handle 👍🏻

I'll be interested to see your mod on the DS controller 🙂 just out of interest why the 35? notice they do 25/35/45 any idea how much they vary and how much difference do you find they made on your club track? Thanks in advance, Dave.
