As I noted in the thread on Cox HO track I have been working on a history of the Life-Like brand of HO cars. Here is a link to what I have so far: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzLR42 ... sp=sharing
The date for the transition from Rokar to Life-Like needs to be firmed up. I was mostly interested in the companies and their various chassis designs, I did not delve into all of the possible body styles or into the people that owned or worked for the companies involved to any great extent.
