I have had trouble finding 1 1/2" cars for my auto rack. Most of what you can find in that scale are something bizarre that you would never see on an
auto rack. I have a PT cruiser, a Camaro and a Corvette, all radio control and too new for the auto rack.

I have been an engineer on one as well. Amazing how fast they pick up speed going down even a small incline! And no brakes!
