Received some sets of roco plastic cars - manufactured end of the 50`s.
1 DKW Junior(blue one ), 1 Edsel ( yellow one ), 1 Opel Kapitän ( green one ) and 1 Ford Taunus Station ( red one ).
Scale is bigger then Thunderjet H0, it`s more like H0 Tyco size, only the
DKW Junior is near Thunderjet size.
This is a very rare set from Austria and I hope I can make some good
slot cars. Think it`s better to make a paint job and use some Aclad or metal foil
for real fat chrome bumpers :p

WOW, I love that Edsel......it'd definately make a sweet slot car :)

What's the red car??? Is that a VW Squareback station wagon???? :eek:

No, it`s a Ford Taunus Station made mid to end of the 50`s in Europe.

Oh man,

I really like those! You must post pics of them in progress and upon completion. That's a lot of work though-4 cars will take some time.
I can help--just send me the wagon or the Edsall and I will make it real nice.
Just forget to include the return address :devil:

A great find, mate :thumbsup:

Cheers

LOL, hey man, I was here first.....I've got first dibs on those..... :jest:

Neat bodies! I imagine kinda hard to find tho. Any of you casters out there make a 58 Edsel? They were popular at our local track in the 70s and it would be cool to make a "Mister Ed" ( Pairadice knows who I mean) and some of the others that ran back then. Hopefully they are out there somewhere. Circle Track DAC

On a side note......Satellite, I had no idea that you were selling these bodies off.....I figured you were going to turn them into Tjets :confused:

Thanks TX
I believe Pairadice has "put the torch" to a couple of MEVs but I aint had the guts ta spend 40 or 50 bucks on sumthin Im gonna butcher. Maybe a caster can come thru.

but note, they are bigger as T-jets. Actualy it`s rainy and very cloudy in Germany, but I think I can make some pics from the out of package
cars in appr. 2 - 4 hours.

Oh, ok man, You didn't mention that you had two sets of those cars ;) Were these cars originally intended to be used with a model train layout....or were they simply cheap dime store type toy cars?

Hey thanks for those comparison pics :) I think I could easily pull off a Tjet conversion on 2-perhaps 3 of those........but that Edsel is just too big to even remotely fit with the rest of my Tjets..... :(
