Aborted product line. Castor oil on tracks made it impossible for the engine to get traction.

Not sure if you were joking but, Cox did delve into slot cars and HO scale trains for a short time.

Cool, unfortunately they don't go for a whole lot. Freight cars usually pull a couple bucks and the army stuff a tad more. I pick them up for my son at swap meets cause it doesn't hurt my feelings if he breaks em. Sometimes the cars with graphics like Pepsi Cola, Dutch cleaners, chewing tobacco, Purina etc. get a little more money.
If you have an HO layout then run em!

Cox did a "Sticker Slap" with these using Athearn models. When Cox got out of model railroading, the line was sold to Model Power.
Now you know.

I think that they were "Fancy'd Up" walkies talkies that could receive multiple channels, but only transmit on one.
