Ihave some very nice Matchbox models, including pre-war Bentley and some other sports cars, also some Hotwheel D-types (I had a brief fad of collecting model D-types, thinking I would see if I could have examples of all reasonable-looking versions - but that fad got overtaken by the current one, presentlyy dormant until next winter, of trying to collect a 1/43rd scale represnative of every car in the 1955 Dundrod TT).

The Aurora and AF/x slot cars were also around HO scale. I had a slot car set up with the train set, including a level crossing. We always tryed for the best train /car interface!

Arjan, as I am writing this, I am looking over a whole range of 1:87 race cars: DTM, German Super Touring (STW) and even one example from the long-defunct Dutch Touring Car Championship. Especially Herpa, but also Rietze (Audi 80 Super Touring), so there is quite a lot to find. Recently, Schuco has done a lot of 1:87 DTM cars as wel, but I must admit it is mainly touring cars, you will hardly find any single-seaters in HO-size.
Happy collecting!

OO is 4mm to the foot (1:76) but the track gauge is smaller - 1:87 like HO in fact.

To fit the box? Not as trite as it sounds. This was certainly the case with Matchbox Toys.Originally posted by Frank S
If there is an answer to "why" the odd scales, perhaps Mr Majorette could contribute a thought about the TR7 I have that is 1:53 (one to fifty-three) (says so, cast right on the bottom).![]()

Hi P4Replica , considering myself as not an expert , but a specialist on this scale , you took me by surprise ! Never seen or head about this P4.
Just call me a P4 'obsessive'. LOL !Originally posted by Bjørn Kjer
Whatever kind of collector or enthusiast man is I believe there has to be some kind of "nerd" there!

The model was a serendipitous find on eBay; I'd never seen one before, nor any since. It was not boxed, and I don't remember seeing a date associated with it.Originally posted by Bjørn Kjer
To be Frank S I may soon alter my selfopinion to special instead of "ist", wether its 1:87 or close to , it looks gorgeous .Never seen over here. Still available ?
Thanks Frank , and top pictures !
