The rail racer.

This Norton Sidecar rail racer (an early gas powered slotcar) was built back in 1957 By Lionel of Model Engine Spares UK and won the builder a diploma in engineering for his hard work and efforts.

The motorbike is still fully running and powered by a E.d Baby gas engine. Currently the model is undergoing restoration work to have the worn tin plate revived and to let the little bike shine just as it did back in 57.
