Do you want to know about the set itself, or the cars?

I can tell you the cars are called Aerohoppers and, according to Howard Johansen's book, there were two versions of the #3 (light red and dark red), and one version of the #2. The part numbers should be 22080 (#2) and 22090 (#3). I have found two of the three in blister packs.

What happened to their p/u shoes ? You can use the TYCO HP-& parts kit if need be.Just a bit of filing & the HP-7 p/u shoes fit like a glove !

:wave: Glad to be of help to my comrades in HO camaraderie ! Always good to see that positive Mojo spreading !
Ever since Marchon bit the dust & the succeeding "Empire" struck out,finding parts has been a challenge. Tyco gears,axles,wheels & motors can be interchanged.Also the TOMY turbo motor can be also used in the yellow/orange /black chassis . Also though the later chasiss's tend to crack when you wreck out, I find repairs easy with superGlue Gel & plastruct.
:( Sadly the orange/yellow & grey Empire chassis used a longer p/u shoe that is unique so you need either the original Factory part (Some parts kits may be found at shows or ebay,etc) or you need to cannibalise another chassis.
