Where'd you come up with that idea, John?  Looks way too home-made to me to be a prototype anything.  Give us a shot of the bottom of the car.  Besides, Mr. TycoPro hisself was scoping it out on another forum earlier.  If there was any credence there, I'd imagine he would have chimed in.  I'm interested in where you got that info.  Hey Dokk, any insights from you?


What's all this brouhaha?

I'm told I have a face for radio and a voice that belongs in the newspaper...

Follow me for fun! Go slot car racing!

Pat,

Bought it from a TYCO Executive that was employed After Pat D  "Mr. TYCO PRO. Dokk looks like TJET but its like clear lexan colored with maybe a black Marker?

Thanks SJJ

Judging from what I've found in just a few clicks, I'd say that car was built around the motor box assembly from a "Hong Kong" Tyco train.  Wouldn't that executive have an idea as to who built it?  I need to find all my son's old cars and micro-machines in the shed, if they're still there, I think we had that body.

He said it was built by Derek Brand or his sons Ken & Roder Brand. Yes i have seen the bodys on ebay.on micro machine rolling Chassis. Not on micro mac slot cars ,which have there own track with tighter rails. This proto fits a standered HO track.
