Your atlas model 1406 first aid station houses some of the spare equipment and occasionally shelters the men of both the First Aid and the Crash Squad crews. Of course, most of the equipment will be carried ready for use, aboard the Crash Squads’ fire or crash truck and the First Aid Squads’ ambulance both of which will be parked alongside the building ready to go. Your first aid station should be placed at a central location in the infield or inside the track. However, should your track feature a particularly hazardous turn the building should be located to favor that or any position at which accidents are more apt to occur. In addition to enabling the rescue crews to arrive on the scene a lot sooner, locating the building near a treacherous spot might serve as a psychological deterrent to some of your more exuberant drivers.

HO Slot Car Motoring Accessory Set 1400-595 Grand Prix

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

After you designed and built your HO slot car track layout you needed some scenery to enhance it. You could purchase individual model kits and accessories to accomplish this task. Atlas also condensed and repackaged all of their scenery into two large accessory sets and named them the Grand Prix & Landau. The Grand Prix set was comprised of the Grandstand, Entrance Building, Rest Room, First Aid Station, Pit Stop with Accessories, 4 Hedges & 12 Bales of Hay. If you, the hobbyist, intended to buy all of these structures & accessories separately purchasing the Grand Prix HO Motoring Accessory Set 1400-595 provided a better value as it saved you almost 10% over the individual retail prices.

HO Slot Car Structure 1406-89 First Aid Station

Friday, February 12th, 2010

A first aid station is a small stand alone building where spectators & racing crew staff (in the event of a crash) are provided emergency care or treatment before regular medical attention can be obtained if any injuries are obtained before, during or after an auto racing sporting event. This plastic model kit is easily discerned by the red cross stickers on the walls as well as the red cross flag atop the building. The Atlas first aid station measures 4.0″ x 4.0″ x 3.5″ and displays nicely on any HO scale slot car racing track layout. This must have kit is easy to assemble.
