Wow, I’m playing catch-up on this thread after a few days of missing the discussion.
Yes, for some strange reason, HO scale slot cars ARE 1/64(ish) instead of 1/87. I can understand size limitations on the motors but why call them HO?
I think Tyco also did a grade crossing for railroads. I certainly remember at least one set from the mid-to-late 70s that was road and rail and featured Tyco’s “Nite Glow” stickers and accessories. I remember wanting to combine my trains and slot car sets but there was never room for it, so I never got the grade crossing. It didn’t help that Tyco stuff was notorious for being crap quality.
