1/24th scale Rail Racer
Hi,
Here's a 1/24th scale rail car made from a Merit Jag D kit. I got the car from the UK years ago. I think 1/24th scale rail cars are rather rare. I'm not sure but I believe there was a club in the UK which ran 1/24th scale rail cars instead of 1/32. I bet Tony or some others would have information of this. The car is nicely made. I like the steel wheels & the tires say SIMANCO.
Thanks,
Bernard

Hi,i think i figured out the mystery of the tires. Simanco an older name used by Singer sewing machines. SInger MANufacturing COmpany=SIMANCO.

The tires used on the rail car are actually bobbing spool winder rings ! Thats why there is no tread & the sizes of the winder rings & the rail car tires match perfectly. Again another example of the ingenuity of our early electric race car pioneers.

Now we still need to figure out where the wheels came from. Thanks,Bernard
