LIST OF HO SLOT CAR CHASSIS TYPES for MANUFACTURER = Tyco

In the 1960s, TYCO changed its focus from train kits to ready-to-run trains sold in hobby shops and added HO-scale electric racing sets, or slot car sets

A wide range of slot cars and repair parts, track sections, controllers and accessories were also available.

The slot car rage started in 1963. By the 1970s, TYCO shifted sales and marketing to a consumer-oriented, mass marketing focus.

Eventually the name changed to TYCO Industries, under which name the company was sold in 1970 to Consolidated Foods during an era of corporate conglomerates.

As a division of what became the Sara Lee Corporation, Tyco continued to grow.

By the mid 1980s, Tyco dominated the market in electric racing, also producing slot trucks known as US-1 Trucks, as well as the radio controlled vehicles.

When Tyco was purchased by Mattel on March 27, 1997, it was the third largest toy company in the United States.

The brand survived into the early 2010s as the Mattel Tyco R/C division, while much of the Sesame Street line, Magna Doodle, and the View-Master were transferred to the Fisher-Price division.
