Nice Rod. I have several sets and will set them up one day when i move. Will be nice to see them running.

I had a couple of these as a kid. I liked them because
a) you could run just about anything on them dependant on weight.
b) you could run multiple vehicles as above.
c) you could run the lanes in opposite or the same direction.
The downside was the springs. Needed to be well lubricated and not stretched.

A nice set, I did set mine up a few years ago but never tried running it.

The one Rod is showing is extra special because it is the American Arnold version.
