Those are really nice, especially side by side.
They're a lot of fun too!
Great vehicles, but their guard rails/connecting bars seem slanted.Was that part of the design, or have they got bent, over time ?
Designed that way Mish. They were marketed as 'flip-over' cars and the angled wires were meant to right them in that instance.
The legend! One of the most recognizable designs of the space age - I love 'em! SFZ
They are nice but they can be pricey in working condition. Many of them, like my yellow-wheeled Space Explorer 1, are missing the tires.
