Aurora Model Motoring In HO Scale Slot Car Racing Track Issues
What You Should Know

Sometimes track has been previously enjoyed.

Some rail and tab oxidation can be cleaned up and does not interfere with the performance of the track.  Some rail and tab rust can not be cleaned up and does interfere with the performance of the track. 

I always invest the time to carefully inspect and test all track for flaws & defects. I always let the over sized photos speak for themselves. I want you to be pleasantly surprised when you receive your track which is why I am including this information as a reference.
