First of all thanks for letting me join this forum. I'm Frank-Peter van de Goor from the Netherlands 55 years old, and a retired race-instructor. I've always been interested in cars, classic cars and motorsport from an early age. Which resulted in a huge collection of model cars, books, magazines, brochures.....and slot cars of course.
At the age of 10 I received a Fleischmann slot car set as a gift from my parents. My biggest desire has always been to make a model racing track layout with scenery. During the first lockdown I could fulfill this dream.
About a month ago I built my first slot car with a brass chassis (Porsche 356A Speedster). I've got the hang of it now . My recent build is a single seater from the sixties. It's Michel Vaillant's racing car.
I hope to learn a lot from the professionals, and get inspired here on this wonderful forum.
