Here you will find a list of Aurora, Tomy, AFX catalogs and misc. items that I have been able to track down.  Many have been sent to me by David Armstrong, Rob Heaton, Paul Shoemaker and Alan Strang.  Several others have also contributed and their names are listed below in {}.   For that I am grateful.  These are PDF files, some fairly large, requiring they be split into multiple parts.  Some of these catalogs have only the pages that deal with slot cars and do not include those pages covering misc. non-slot car toys.  Note that there are several sections (please scroll down to see them all).
