It is a one piece fiberglass tub with an Engleman track in it. It looks way cool!

I don't think I ever saw this particular one. Looks like fun though. Remember when you could actually expect to find a track in a hobby store and it was commonplace? :cry: .... oh well, there are still a few here and there. nd

I don't actually remember, but my parents told me about it.:devil:

The HO scale Engleman did exist. There was one in Denver, CO at Celebrity Sports Center.

This particular track is rumored to still be in Colorado.

What a great track :thumbsup: - using a quick conversion tool, with inflation factored in the cost on that baby would be well over $5000.00 :cry:

The ad came from Car Model Magazine August 1970.

I never knew that this existed, but since I dreamed about such a layout for HO some time ago I started to design this kind of track myself:

Never had the time though to follow suite....
