yes:

















1/32 Marklin garden line 1/32 slot cars. However, the final layout will only have a slot car race track, the vehicles designed for road use are radio controlled.

Man, those 1:32 cars together with 1:32 trains look so good!

It will not look very much to scale, Modern "HO" slotcars are more like 1/64 and the variety of cars is pretty poor. If you use old tjet type cars, those are in the range of 1 /80th to 1/72nd scale. Some of the rights to old Aurora T-jet stuff was bought and is being produced by a new company based in Californai the company is MODEL MOTORING. They list the train crossing as being released in the near future. You can also find them on ebay.

Aurora first came out with the AC powered vibrator chassis cars in 1960 and initially they were marketed as a compliment to train sets. Aurora realized shortly after that it was the racing aspect that would drive the product line and the early tie to being a train set acessory went away.

I have never operated the slot track/train crossing piece so I have no idea how smoothly they work.
