My latest Wal-Mart HO vehicle find

[Paul M.]

I've found another source of inexpensive HO scale vehicles at Wal-Mart.

Hot Wheels has joined the bandwagon and are now selling HO vehicles in plastic display boxes. So far I've seen a hot rod, a tan 2005 Mustang GT, a VW Beetle, a Dodge Charger and a few other cars. They're about $2.99 each, and they look all right. I bought the hot rod.

So, now we have Hot Wheels HO scale cars in addition to our Malibu ex- MP cars, Peterbuilt trucks, race cars, and cars w/ trailers. And don't forget the Fresh Cherries.

I think Imay have more vehicles than I will have road space for them.  I don't remember traffic jams in the Shenandoah Valley in 1957!

What I've been using even though it's not to scale but still close is the Ertl John Deere 1/64 die-cast

Our Walmart put the Norscott Cat vehicles on their clearance rack for under 5.00.  So a construction crew I have now.

I think Model Railroad News had an article on them once. It turns out most of them aren't HO or N, but somewhere in the middle. In other words, they're designed to fit the package. On the other hand, one is very close to perfect HO scale.

I haven't been able to find the Fresh Cherries at either of the two Wallie Worlds I live nearby to. I may have to ask my LHS to special order the Fresh Cherry I'd like for me.

Just delivered to Canada - found them in Toronto area Walmart!

1/87 Hot Wheels, Fresh Cherries and Malibu line arrived together!

My son is overjoyed "look dad they're all in plastic cases they must be good!".  My credit card just took another beating; but good value for the quality of model.

Great!
