Who doesn't want to see more of Uncle Jim? He's such a nice fellow. The track speaks for itself.
METICULOUS TO THE EXTREME!!!! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!
I am still hoping to watch a race on this fabulous set-up.
Racing soon to come, don’t worry it’ll be worth the wait!
I cant wait neither for it. 🏁🚦🏎️ 💨
What a master artist. The maestro. I have always admired many a model railroaders work but, never a slot car racers work. This is it.
AMAZING ! ! ! ! !
Jimmy, you're the master! Patience, skill, & imagination. Incredible.
Wow! This place is practically a shrine to road racing!
Shingles can be mass-produced using long strips of construction paper cut partway for shingles. You can then trim them and weather them at your leisure.
Figures are like trees on a railroad layout. If you have an hour you can set up an assembly line and work your way through trimming, painting, and shading them. This works great on a TV tray table in front of the TV for an afternoon watching movies (Le Mans, Ford vs. Ferrari, Heart Like a Wheel). Don't forget hats, ball caps, and visors made from printer paper. For colors you can use cheap craft paints from a hobby shop. HO slot racing sponsor decals look great on t-shirts, jackets, and hats.
The fencing material is called tulle and can be found at sewing and fabric shops. Larger squares are fine as is -- for chain-link use smaller squares turned sideways to make diamonds.
Great setup!! That's a labor of love Man!! I want to see some racing..
I so glad to see a few more vids on this masterpiece of
Slot Car Racing by an American Icon in the slot car world!
Thanks Mr. Attard for inviting us back into your home'
and showing us some of your tricks. The business card
idea is AWESOME not to mention Genius idea versus
using Messy Joint Compound to cover foam or MDF!
Thanks gents!
Ryan, our Corvette club meets at Les Stanford Chevrolet every 4th Wednesday of the month at 7:30PM. I've tried to reach Uncle Jimmy by phone with no luck. Any chance 3 or 4 of us could stop by sometime before one of our Corvette meetings and see this museum quality layout with all it's detail? Us old guys recently got hooked on Carrera 1/32 slot car racing, and our group is salivating over Jimmy's creation. Heck, we'll come whenever it's best for Uncle Jimmy. We are photographers and one master modeler as well as car enthusiasts. I have to tell Jimmy about my grandfather's 52 years at Ford Motor starting at 14 years of age as an Ukrainian immigrant!
Your uncle Jim is amazing, thanks for the update can’t wait to see more content. Cheers Jim
Thanks for your kind words Jim! Please subscribe and go back and forward our videos to more of your friends because the guys plan to do more in the future.
Every little item he put on there has a precise purpose. Incredible talent.
Thanks for the nice comment Spekky! If you haven't subscribed to Lunch King please do. Please go back and if you enjoy the track and racing video, forward it to your friends and family.
Can't wait to see some of the wiring for the AC2Car system as well as the track lights! Since I saw the first video, I've gone down the rabbit hole trying to find every AC2Car and Northline Raceway video on RUclips. I think I speak for many when I say I'd love to see some videos of the track in action. Some up-close shot of how the warning lights work for when the track is under yellow and red flag would be really cool. Also, thanks for posting the link to the article on the track! Mr. Attard and his track are awesome and I can't wait more of both!
We will most likely do a segment on that - 10 how to segments coming in the next few weeks
Thank you for the kind words! We will be showcasing all of those unique features soon, so watch out for those videos!
its great to witness masters at work...i only dreamed of such things...jimmy did it!
Beautiful is all I can say. Please show a video of the cars in action, especially lane change and passing. My start in SCCA was as a volunteer corner worker at Second Creek track outside Denver.
Man I sure love that track. Amazing work jimmy and thank you Ryan and cast for the episode. Would love to see more
More coming
Thank you for the nice comment! We have exciting new videos coming!
Paint sample shingles!!!! Brilliant!
Always amazed at jimmy’s track! Thanks!
Great series this track, it’s how I found your channel.
Would love to see racing action. Definitely the best slot car track I’ve ever seen.
Jimmy is way too modest. "It doesn't look like much ....." Seriously, do you know how time consuming it is to painstakingly paint each of those 1:32 figures? From the molding, sanding, priming, and detailing of everyone? My respect to you Sir!
Please can we see some actual racing? It would be nice if it were those really nice single seaters with the high wings in the display cabinet towards the end of the video. I love those race cars. Safety crew figures paint jobs look realistic by the way.
Thanks for this follow-up video! More excellent work!
All of a sudden I am very interested in Slot Cars! What an amazing hobby and talent this gentleman has!
Thanks for your kind words GN! Please subscribe to the LK sight and go back and forward our videos to more of your friends because the guys plan to do more in the future.
This guy deserves a Nobel Prize for real!
Proud of the old fella real talent so much detail
That track is just incredable wow
I love his detailing, Looks like 30 yrs of enjoyable labor
Working on the track is always enjoyable Rob. Especially thru the Covid years when we could not leave the house. If you haven't subscribed to Lunch King please do. Please go back and if you enjoy the track and racing video, forward it to your friends and family.
This is truly awesome. So realistic…
thanks uncle Jim! excellent weathering tip you gave last time - use coloured chalk - a world opened up to me . . . #chapeau #gracias #cheersmate
Thanks for your kind words of support Bob! Please subscribe and go back and forward our videos to more of your friends because the guys plan to do more in the future.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Freakn awesome! Fond memories of slot car racing in Brooklyn, NY as well as my love of model railroading. Love your innovative design for the track.
Thanks for your nice comment Gulp it! Please subscribe to LK and go back and forward our videos to more of your friends because the guys plan to do more in the future.
The level of detail is mind blowing. How long did it take just to lay the copper on the the track and how did he do it?
As a fellow Michigander I'm proud to see some Lions Schwag! 🦁 GO LIONS!
Jimmy is amazing. He is an inspiration as I build my own HO Scale slot car track.
I also would like to know more about the lane change mechanics, is it commanded from the controller?
Yes Chris thanks for asking. I have two buttons on each controller. One for activating the lane change switch and a second to switch the car into pit lane. Thanks for your kind words my friend.
This is so exciting.. thanks for sharing!
You should zoom close to the figures and see the detail.
Great videos! 👍👍
Does Jimmy have a figurine of himself in there? He should!
Love the track!!! Great job Jim!!!
Thanks for your support and kind words Scott. Please subscribe to LK and go back and forward our videos to more of your friends because the guys plan to do more in the future.
This is easily one of the cooler things I have stumbled upon here on RUclips. Truly amazing craftsmanship and clearly a labor of love. If I can find my old slot car can I come race?
Very nice I love it. Thanks
Uncle Jim is Awesome
I think it's great how he's always working to add more and bring new things to this track. I wonder since he's started how many hours are into this wonder of a slot track. Always good to see more these are really well done videos.
Have you guys seen the 3D Botmaker videos? There would absolutely be an audience for regular races. Especially if you can get a small camera on a car or two
Well Chief, the guys have a few videos of my track in action. Including on the road videos. Go to the Lunch King channel to see them. If you haven't subscribed to Lunch King please do. Please go back and if you enjoy the track and racing video, forward it to your friends and family.
Your work inspires me to make my tracks better. Greetings from northern Alberta Canada 👍
Great work!!!
Thanks for your nice comment WB! If you haven't subscribed to Lunch King please do. Please go back and if you enjoy the track and racing video, forward it to your friends and family.
That shell corner looks remarkably similar to stavelot at the old Spa Francochamp .
Next thing could be some camera setup around the track, with crews and off course real cameras to record the races.
I love this guy!
Outstanding I love it
There’s nothing better👍
What incredible work and attention to detail. The details are what make this track so very special. Kudos!!!
Awesome!
looking awesome 👍👍
Thank you
Another great one! I'd love to see how the figurines are made.
I'd really love to see a POV style video of the track where you put a gopro or a small camera on a car and see what it's like from the actual track itself like a Wes Anderson movie.
we have a small old video showing that: ruclips.net/video/AUZlVGHX_E0/видео.html
,working on a new version with the new gopro during a full race
This video ruclips.net/video/Hn5jtXQrnqo/видео.html
has pov cams AND night time views as well ( check out the Shell sign !! )
I want to know more about how the lane changes are set up. Where is the button located and couldn’t I force a lane change of the other person in my lane?
Love it!!
Sooooooo beautiful, the best I’ve seen for sure.
I’m Maltese as well and I’m in the hobby as well.
I’m working on my scenery and watching these videos give me a boost. Phenomenal work 👍👍
I want to get figures, thinking of shaving off the bottom by the feet and glue the figures on the track. That’s what I’m planning on doing. Do you sell figures, not painted?
Ant1 I'd so much like to help you with figures but I have to put sooo much work into them that it's a labor of love. I have been known to find army men, construction worker or fireman figures at the toy stores and with a bit of direction, use them on my track. I hope that helps you.
An absolutely incredible track Jimmy . Make a casting how to video please !!!
Ok Buck, I'll find a way to get the guys to show a mold making segment. In the meantime please subscribe.
Go back and forward our videos to more of your friends because the guys plan to do more in the future.
will do Jimmy ...in the meantime the level of detail on your track is inspiring ! I'm going to try flexible beading needles for my flags
.
hi from denmark you are a true a artist
Thank you for the kind words
This gfs k l high is great! You did a great job ! Is this 1/32 scale train ctrack and cars? Thanks
I wonder how many Detroit Lie-Downs games he quit watching in disgust and just went to work on the track? I grew up in Port Huron, but live in the South now, and know how hard it can be sometimes to be a Lions fan.
#Detroitvseverybody
#someday
Speaking of Port Huron, you should go to Mama Vicki's up there and get some Coneys. They've been in business for almost a hundred years!
Cool vids on the track.
Hi Travis...I have not missed a Lion snap in 30 years.....what tough times we've had! But our day will come my friend. Thanks for the kind words.
Please subscribe to the LK sight and go back and forward our videos to more of your friends because the guys plan to do more in the future. I do love Coney dogs!
I agree with some others are we gunna get to see a car go on it
Can the public check this place out? I'm from Michigan live in Michigan and will die in Michigan. Please let me visit your track. If not me, then the guy from under the radar stop by.
RACE FOOTAGE! RACE FOOTAGE! please!!!!
Bod go to the Lunch King channel to see races. If you haven't subscribed to Lunch King please do. Please go back and if you enjoy the track and racing video, forward it to your friends and family.
The world needs simulated scents so you can recreate the bratwurst stands from Road America :)
Your words made me smile Gary. I can taste the Brats. Please subscribe to the LK sight and go back and forward our videos to more of your friends because the guys plan to do more in the future.
I will be the the area 10/25 to 30 and I will bring a few of my 1500 vintage slot cars to show and tell and run on several tracks in the Detroit area. Please contact me if you are up for a fellow vintage slot cars enthusiast. Y'all are welcome to visit my track in Sherwood AR anytime.
Oh man Jim ....I'm delinquent on my reading comments. I missed your visit to Michigan. I would have liked to meet you my friend. If you haven't subscribed to Lunch King please do. Please go back and if you enjoy the track and racing video, forward it to your friends and family.
@@jimmyattard1446 I had a great time in Michigan. I visited with fellow vintage slot car enthusiasts at Downriver Speedway Joe was great and it is a wonderful facility. See it while you can! Also visited the grand Opening of RPM Speedway and raced with the M&M Boys on Henderson Raceway. I shopped at Professor motor. I miss the tracks they had on previous visits. Ran out of time to go to Cloverleaf and others. Maybe I can get it touch on my next visit. PM me contact info? Yes I am subscribed.
Want to see the cars rub
Great work but the camera angles are not going to do it justice. Maybe instead of following you two around the camera could focus on art. Also why not mount a Gopro to a car and get a road race view!
Brother! Just turn your house into a AirB&B for slot car racers. Just bring your own cars! Book me for early August!
We want to see cars running on the track
What scale is the slot car tracks
It's 1/32nd scale Taz. Please subscribe to the LK channel and go back and forward our videos to more of your friends because the guys plan to do more in the future.
Why won't they show us the cars racing??????????????
I love the track /// one question/// how can you show me all this and not show some cars going around.. lol and maybe feature a car each time and some history on the piece.
Racing is coming soon, thank you for your support!
When will we see a RACE?
working on a new race, in the meantime here is a video of an older race from the track
ruclips.net/video/w7f5nVnm0EY/видео.html
Just give your uncle a camera ask him to turn it on when he works on things. You edit the video and share the profit, he’ll just put it back into the track and you can earn some money.
Hey Ryan, enough talking. How about some racing?
how about some fun race filmed?
Camera guy needs to learn close up to show details. Fans in stands? Where..
What does his wife think about it? Lol
Who wants to buy my Tyco cars I have hundreds also bigger scale ones too
