Your atlas model 1409 officials stand should be located at a central site on your track’s infield so as to command a clear view of the entire track thus enabling the racing officials to observe, through the large second storey windows, any rules infractions which might occur during a race. Much of the official race business is conducted over the downstairs counter. We do not know of any exactly alike full size officials stands or buildings. Many appear to have been designed without resorting to the services of an architect and it seems as if the two most important design criteria were:
- Get the officials up in the air where they can see
- Do not use any more money than necessary to do so
So, we swiped some ideas here and there from several full size stands and added a few of our own to come up with a very authentic officials stand – it doesn’t look exactly like any other either.

- Before beginning assembly apply all decorative stickers called for on the drawing.
- Install inner wall 1 in building 2. Make sure the upper corners of the inner wall are inserted between the small tabs at the ends of the longitudinal building brace.
- Install the building on base 3 so that the opening in the base lies between the inner and rear walls. Make certain that the lower corners of the inner wall enter between the small centering ribs on the base.
- Install awning 4 with its upper edges resting on the framing around the counter window opening. The upper edges of the awning sides snap under the small pin protruding from the sides of the building.
- Install upper storey 5 and windows 6.
- Install roof 7 and cupola 8.
- Cement loud speakers 9 into gutters at the roof corners.
- Apply a pennant to pole 10 and then cement the pole into the hole in the cupola.

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 Landau & Grand Prix. The Landau set was comprised of the Bleachers Stand, 24 Figures, Officials Stand, Refreshment Stand, TV & Radio Tower, 4 Hedges & 12 Bales of Hay. If you, the hobbyist, intended to buy all of these structures & accessories separately purchasing the Landau HO Motoring Accessory Set 1401-595 provided a better value as it saved you almost 11% over the individual retail prices. The overall dimensions of the box is 18 inches long by 14 inch wide by 2 inches tall.

With just a few packages each of the bales of hay you will be able to quickly add some very attractive touches of authenticity to your motor raceway. Generally speaking, the hay bales are located along the turns where a spectator area is located. The hay bales should be stacked in front of any track side structure such as an Officials Stand or a TV & Radio Tower and also between the track and your Grandstands. The hay bales protecting the grandstand spectators should be arranged in a fairly orderly straight line with an occasional bale knocked out of alignment. In front of the other buildings the bales look best if not too uniformly arranged. Technically speaking, each one of these beautifully molded scenery sections are a hay bale bundle each consisting of 12 hay bales. Each fulvous colored hay bale bundle is soft and pliable and measure 1-5/8 inches long by 3/8 inch tall by 1/2 inch wide at the base and tapers to 7/16 inch at the top.
