Pretty Neat Tyco Slot Car/Truck Layout - Super - 01-23-2025
Pretty Neat Tyco Slot Car/Truck Layout. Especially like the 3D printed buildings and the builder following what some of the original Tyco items were. The night time scene is cool with all the headlights and the animated action scenery is very cool and its all portable.

Awesome! I'm lucky enough to own the set with the gravel truck, I found it at a garage sale and the guy sold it to me for 5 USD.

Did you get track, controller and power supply with that set too Serial?

Yep! Only thing missing was one of the rear tires from the cab unit, it had been replaced with what I believe to be a Lego tire. Still had the box too!
