Atlas Twin Pikes Peak HO racing set, 1968. Here is an interesting old Atlas slot car set with mint unused set contents and no cars included. You can use this set with most any HO slot cars like Atlas, TJets, AFX, Tyco, and many others. The red Ford and gray Porsche shown are typical of the cars that came with the set, but they are not included here. The set box top has light shelf wear, and a small corner split at the lower left corner. The box bottom has splits along the lower sides and the lower left corner, as is common for these sets. The old litho artwork on this set is very displayable and in comparison puts most Aurora set boxes to shame! Inside the contents are completely mint and unused! Contents include: 1- box of 12" radius curves, 12 pieces in box 2- steering wheel controllers individually boxed. One is tan with a yellow wheel, the other is yellow with a tan wheel. 1- 9" terminal straight track 2- single cross 9" straight tracks 1- 9" straight track 1- 9" chicane track 1- 9" shimmy track (unique to Atlas) 8- 9" radius 1/4 curves 6- 6" radius 1/4 curves 4- 3" straight tracks 1- 17 Volt transformer 1- still sealed bag of track clips with 4 coils of hookup wire 1- sealed bag of 36 plastic white guard rails 6- pieces of light green cardboard mountain peaks which fit together to make the twin peaks 1- instruction and assembly sheet If you'd like you can race with this set, or substitute two mint cars to have a totally unused Atlas set for your collection, just with some minor box shelf wear.

Lionel Pike's Peak Auto Relay Race set #9544, from 1964. Lionel also had a version of a Pike's Peak slot car set, as did a number of other manufacturers. It noteably had nicer scenic mountain lithography than the Atlas set. This 4-car set will work with most brands of HO slot cars. The set box is in fair condition, with the top showing some damage as shown from where some tape was. There is some clear tape running across the length of the box top. The four running cars include a tan '64 Corvette in very nice condition with a little roof wear. Some corrosion is present on the spare tire wheel and it's mounting clip. Next is a blue Mercedes whose white roof has a crack down the center extending down to the rear window as shown. Third is the blue '64 Corvette also with a little roof wear and corrosion to the spare tire wheel and mounting clip. Lastly is an orange Mercedes that has lots of glue marks all the way around the four sides of the white top and windshield area. This car is missing the spare wheel/tire and has a black chassis instead of a grey one. The set originally had a tan Mercedes which isn't included here. All four cars run fine, although the tires are dry as would be expected. For better traction o-rings could be used. TJet tires stretched on the rims wouldn't fit perfectly, but would probably be usable. Old Lionel tires are prone to cracking when you try to remove them. All four cars have the lead traction weight present. The clear plastic clamshell boxes are included, with one of them having some minor cracks and scratches. The used set contents include the following track and accessories, all in good working order: 4- 9" radius 1/4 curves 8- 6" radius 1/4 curves (Atlas curves with yellow center lines that are a bit lighter yellow than the Lionel curves have been substituted here) 12- 12" radius 1/8 curves (these are unused Atlas curves, with white center lines. Atlas track makes perfect connections with the Lionel track) 2- 6" radius 1/8 curves 2- 9" radius 1/8 curves 1- 5" straight 1- 6" straight 1- 9" straight 2- 9" single cross straights 1- 9" terminal track 1- 9" lap counter (10 lap) 4- working controllers (2 red, 2 blue) 1- non-working original Lionel set transformer 1- working replacement Tyco 12 volt transformer- the hi-torque cars have good response with this power supply, even though it is 12 volts. 26- guard rails 1- photocopy of 4 page setup instructions 1- flag-tag relay racing kit instructions- worn but readable. 4- relay flags with clips (2 white, 2 blue flags) 126- brass track joiners. With the 35 track pieces in this set you would need about 140 to have the full 4 joiners per track section. But you can get by with less than 4 per section, so you will have enough to get by here. 1- wooden joiner assembly tool 6- black track piers 1- pair of white relay cams Price for this classic 60's Lionel set is $175.00 |
