Merl H. has several hobbies with some under construction. While in high school
Merl got interested in slot car racing. His favorite hobby is racing slot cars on a track which
is 43'x 2', plus 2 curves, making a total of 100 feet of 8 slot car tracks. Merl has controllers for each track and his grandkids
love playing with them. Most of the cars are from the 1960 & '70 era, and the cars are metal and heavy. He has a few
modern ones made of plastic and very light in weight. One of the curves is large and steep banked and the other curve is narrow and with very little bank. The track is based on the Nascar Track in Martinsville, VA.
Merl is also in the process of building a toy train setup by the race track. The train is 0 gauge tracks and he has a lot
of tank cars, box cars and engines, track,bridges, etc. He plans to have two trains on two outside tracks
going around the track which will be approximately 75' in length and various other tracks and towns, etc
He also likes playing pinball machines (3) and foosball game.
