Hello,
Well was poking around Ebay and punched in AFX and had a rush of fun memories from childhood. Had a uncle who had a track set up in his garage and have great memories of AFX racing.
Well fast foward, I'am now 36 and have a 7 year old son and looking to pick up a track to introduce son to this great hobby.
The questions I hope to get answered are as follows-
Is AURORA AFX ( and non-Aurora AFX),T-JET and TYCO compatible?
Does old AFX track work with the new Tomy track?
I ask as have seen old AFX tracks on ebay for what seems very fair prices but not sure if "old" is the best route.
Could any one suggest a racetrack?
Is there other brands out there that I should also consider?
EDIT: After reading additional threads here (Saw thread below this one from 71rcode) was wondering if the following would be a good way to go-
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2619&item=5917397301&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
I like the price and with 4 cars seems like a good deal. The only thing I'am not sure about is 4 lanes. Are these 4 lane tracks or just 2 pcs. of track side by side?
Ask as the above set is advertised as 17ft. but if its tracks side by side then I would create a larger 2 lane track.
Thank you for any input and glad I found this site. :thumbsup:
