Cox Miniature Starting Kit

I made these miniature fuel can and starter batteries from balsa blocks and plastic sprue. Painted with acrylic model paints, then applied aluminum foil and stickers. Fuel can height is about 1 1/2 ins. I named them as Cox Miniature Accessories. Small Cox Logo

These are cute Smile

On a related note, can any English native speaker enlighten me what does "Drome" in "Thimble Drome" mean?

I believe it’s a play off the old word “Aerodrome”. With the intent of racing cars in a miniature area, therefore: thimble Drome. The trademark Thimble with the cars and planes racing out of it.

Here’s a trip down memory lane: https://www.coxengineforum.com/t9012-what-does-thimble-drome-mean?highlight=Thimble+Drome
