I have 2 questions for ya'll. My first is, this says made by Tyco, my guess would be a slot car chasis but it has no tab. Here are some pics(sorry for the quailty had to take them with my camera)
My next queston is, this chasis is made by Bachmann and is very well made for Bachmann. Does anyone have a pic of the motor and how it fits, and what shell fits this chasis?

Will that slotcar lookin thing fit on HO train track?
The Bachmann chassis is for the GP40 and U36B.
There is a plate that bolts to the top to hold the motor in.
The motor had the same type couplings as the worm shafts do and there was a odd looking coupling that connects the 2.

You thinking the same thing I'm thinking, Ray...one of those Tracksters from the 80s?

| Yes it runs on HO track, it runs very fast, and has what feels like magnets pulling down it it. I think the Bachmann van maybe is something close, but this is made by Tyco.

| Thanks Dacheez, I guess I know why it runs so fast. Now I'll have to find a shell for it.

The hitch got me, I saw it and figured it may have been unique to one of the Tracksters.
The magnets now make sense and, by golly, it worked.
