No stationary diecast with flashers? Like the escalade or the new hero series? Maybe you can mount them on a sliding bar where they pull out randomly and block the track. Better stop for them though, your plastic 1/32 slot might not win in a collision with a diecast.

I think the mustang and the charger are still my favorite, they just seem the most realistic to me. I have seen a bunch of Tahoe police vehicles in Philly, NC and other areas, but the charger and mustang are by far the most common. I have yet to see that vette pulling someone.

Chris, did you get the car?
I got it this time! $56.00 + $8.95 shipping. The shipping is a little high, but at least I'll have it now. Gotta get the extra lights and siren...

Yay! That's great news, and a good price too. Post some pics of your lighting job!

B, No more diecasts until I get a new track built. I was tempted, but there's just no room unless I put them right by the driver station, and I already did that with the static safety car vette. I like how you think with the sliding bar idea, that would be cool.

Thanks, I will, but I'm not going to give it to myself until my Birthday in September...

I couldnt get them all, but atleast I got two of JJJs police conversions. They look ridiculously cool in person. Pictures in my conversion gallery do not do them justice. I am sure they look good standard but the extra lights really make it. Video does a little better job than pictures

Cool video, miss those cars! Hey did yall hear? Carrera is re-issuing the Charger Police car. I have it from a reasonably reliable source that this person's LHS is awaiting a shipment, and he was advised of it, and let me know.
