One of the stores here has a new H.O. scale set marked down to $25. I was just wondering how the cars look and handle? Is it worth it? Do I want it?
thanks, Russell

I had two MS sets. They were very high quality. The track went together easy. I had five MS cars. They are fairly highly detailed and they move out pretty good. They could use a little weight on the front end or better magnets. They actually work best on their own track. The novelty of having brushes instead of metal shoes is intriguing too. I never had anything but good luck with them. I am using their controllers on my AFX sets. Very nice. For two-bits you can't go wrong. Let me know if you want more track. To answer your question, more than worth it.

Sure, why not? Variety is the spice of life. :thumbsup:

The MS Astons and Ferraris are both really nice bodies, too, if those are the sets.

I got a pair of Aston Martins from DesertSlot. They haul azz on my Tomy track. Then I really looked at the bottom of the car and saw "12v". Oh, quite a bit more manageable. They are a tad on the bigger side of HO scale. Side by side on a Tomy track section, you can slip a sheet of paper between them.

Yeah, they are a little bigger. 12V? Never looked. No wonder they run better on their own track! Duh!

What, no pix? :) rr

Here are pictures of MS complete offering in the States.

I have two MS cars, a Jag and the R/W/B Ferrari. There handling is similar to that of the Tomy Turbo, but quieter. I love them, and want to get more.

Where were you when I sold (gave away) my five cars? JK Yes they are very smooth and quiet. I only sold mine to condense my stable. You can get more variety if you want from hobby shops in the UK.
