  A couple of pics of my AFX Police & Fire cars. The roof light blink when the cars are running. Vans do not have working lights...

Wish the lighting were a bit better in your pictures. Nice vehicles, though!

Hi Walt,
Those are really cool! Matchbox put out a police car that looks very much like the blue and white one in the top left corner paint wise.
I have 17 slot cars and not a single emergency one. Some day maybe, but I don't really use mine.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice cars Walt! Are those all Magnatraction? How hard are they to find? I know Tyco made several emergency vehicles, but they seem to be quite scarce.
Here's my beat-up Tyco Satellite in Fire Chief paint...

Thank you, guys for the comments. . Cheez, these cars and vans are on Ebay all the time. All are magnatraction, the vans are a bit top heavy on the track. The State Police car gets a little pricey ...

| There is a thread in the hobbytalk website under slot cars using Hydrogen peroxide and putting the glass with the yellowed white body. It bleaches them out. I tried it with some Tyco white bodies and it works but decals and chrome don't look good after.

I actually just found this posting ... That's cool Mike, sad thing is most of my slot cars are emergency vehicles... Will be getting more as I progress with the layout ...
