I came across this website:

Click on the "cars" link on the left side of the page.

Quite a few nicely detailed models in HO scale that might make good tjet bodies.

Mike,

They are all 1/87th scale. Which is too small for slot cars except for a Micro machine :)

Thanks for the heads up though

I know it is possible to cast off of bigger cars and make them shrink, is the opposite not possible?

Hmmmm.My mistake then.I thought HO scale(tjets) were "true" HO scale,or 1:87.

Micromachines,to the best of my knowledge,are 1:144.

Maybe someone can clear that up for me. :) :)

Mike

We could talk about & disect scales from here to the end of the world!

All manufacturers cheat, fudge and otherwise obfuscate the scale 'question', so why ask it !!

I would love to see some of these cars Hydrospand-ed up to fit on current slot car chassis, especially the BMW.

I didn't know old Jimmy was actually "in" the business. Only a guy from Chicago could truly appreciate the humor! :p :tongue:
