I am a 52-year-old slot racer from the West Palatinate in Germany. I have a 14 m Carrera dual track. I particularly like the pre-wing racers from the 1960s, but am open to anything interesting. I find the Grand Prix racers from Monogram, Atlas, Airfix visually the most beautiful. Velasor would also be great. I have equipped the points of my track with anti-collision circuits (yes, I know, real racers don't like them - but since I often have only a few racing enthusiasts and drive a lot with ghost cars, the game flow is higher).
I also have some experience with installing digital chips in the beautiful F1 Scalextric racers (e.g. Lotus 49, Eagle Weslake).
I like the beautiful old Herpa buildings and replicas of historical racing buildings.
Since I had contact with landscaping with a Märklin HO track in my youth, I am interested in the implementation of a corresponding slotcar track with landscape and elevation differences as well as all curve radii of Carrera with opening and closing curves as well as a pitlane.
This winter I made my first attempt at landscaping.
In the future I would like to try my hand at assembling kits, including airbrush painting and applying decals. It would be great if I could learn something from experienced hobbyists.
Kind regards Dirk

Hi Dirk, Welcome, Do share your work. There is a huge resource in this forum but sadly not much in the way of posts as many have moved to FB. You may be aware of Taffy, who comes from your part of the world. I also know Peter Hartmann who is, I believe, German although he doesn't post here. Best wishes Andi
