During the 1960’s Aurora Plastics produced a line of HO scaled structures, in kit form, which could be used for slot car track layout scenery. Since these injection molded plastic scenery models are now quite collectible, an unblemished complete set of the eight different unbuilt model kits can be expensive to purchase, as well as, time consuming to acquire. Aurora was one of several companies to manufacture such a wide variety of scenic kits specifically made for 1:87 scale slot cars. Here is a list of all of the vintage kits which were produced along with their original stock numbers and price.
