Dear Eric:

Do you (or anybody at this board) knows something about the items below? I know that Lionel did offered 1/87 trains for a brief period of time,but cars as well?

I think your refering to Lionel HO slot cars from the mid sixties They were very much like Aurora slot cars.

I had a few I sold on ebay. The proportions are so poor they look more like cartoon cars. I think I still have a 1964 Ford Galaxie somewhere.

I do know that when Lionel decided to break into the 1/87th scale market, they had Athearn make all the trains for them. I would not be surprised if they had Aurora do the slot cars.
