Hot wheels cars

[Summertrainz]

are some "realistic"

They are not the same scale; they are all about the same size, and the scale adjust to match the size.  The are about S scale (1:64) but vary from nearly O scale (1:48) down to a bit larger than HO scale (1:87.5).

Check your local Wal-Mart.
They have 1/87 scale cars for less than two dollars each.

Some Wal-marts do. Some don't.  I bought mine in West Virginia and I live in really eastern Virginia.

You're probably better off going with Matchbox than with Hotwheels.....Hotwheels resemble nothing that you see in real life,they're just weird gaudy toys....but Matchbox offers some fairly nicely detailed vehicles....I personally like the the more finely detailed ''collectors'' vehicles you find at Wally World,  pretty decent price and they actually look like what they're supposed to be.

there are a lot of nice discast cars, from many different manufacturers, that are slightly larger then HO scale (apx 1/64, which is S scale) some of them even have the scale on the bottom of them. The new ones that WalMart are carrying are excellent, the WalMart around here also has H.O. Norscott construction equipment, although it looks a little over sized to me. also Motor Max has a line of true HO scale cars and a line of close to scale tractor trailers called "Big Rigs" these are very reasonably priced ($2.99) and can be easily taken apart and repainted, the only thing lacking is mirrors, which is the case with many diecast trucks destined for the toy trade.  P.M.

[MrMunchkin]

I still have most of my Matchboxes from when I was a kid,(so long ago that  they were still made in England "by Lesney") they were in pretty rough shape though, went through years of abuse by me and then my nephew, my mom kept them though, although I used them on my layout when I was a kid they're not up to my standards now, so I took  my favorites and put them away and the others that didn't look too bad, I painted with rust paint and put in a junk yard on my layout, as long as you don't put any scale cars near them they look ok.  P.M.

Another great thing about the Matchbox cars is that on the newer ones they say what scale they are on the chassis.
