Monty Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I had quite a few of these cars as a kid, but they weren't motorized. What is propelling these cars? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI9zyhs7u8s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) electricityThanks, Captain Obvious. As I said, these are basically 1/64 non-motorized diecast cars. What is keeping them moving along? Edited August 10, 2015 by Monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XL500 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I believe the Matchbox Motorway actually had a long spring running through the slots, which hooked onto the cars and dragged them along in place. Now you know where all the NOISE comes from! I acquired one of these sets many years ago in a lot along with HO slot cars that I was purchasing. Couldn't get rid of that thing, show after show! Finally, I just traded it away for something, I don't even recall what. Hardcore Matchbox guys can probably give you a better explanation, maybe try a Matchbox club site?That's all I've got for ya...
