| Anyone familiar with these cars
Ok, my brother found these today while sifting through some **** we own. I've never seen a slot track car set up like this. Thought some of you might know if its a decent set up. I have a box of about 20+ of these little things, some appear to be hand built. I assume they came from my dad because he did model railroad and slot cars. What do you guys think. I only own a cellphone camera so if you dont like theh pictures I'm sorry. |

There is an army of those little cars. Most have bodies, some random tires are in the box as well. There is also a whole group of chassis, armatures, gears, and spare parts in general. I may start collecting these things.

I wouldnt ever sell them. I was just curious how old, and what type they were. I've never seen a chassis set up like that before, pretty interesting.

Yeah, there is some pretty cool cars in there. I dare not drive one though. I wonder how the motor performance of these compare to a newer style.
