Yes, but this is better suited to a display layout, with governable speed controls for the cars- like the early Aurora Model Motoring which had a sort of simulated steering wheel -actually a field-setting rheostat to control speed- just the thing for hobbyshop window displays, but not very practical for racing.
Possible but not advisable . Very real collision hazard, as with l.l Grade Crossings, Viewed from above, these are two different transportation systems-why invite a potential accident! Grade crossings- highway/Rail are BAD DESIGN.
They are HO which is ( railroad use) l-87 of prototype or Half-O scale. actually they are slightly larger than scale to accomodate motors, gears, etc. Aurora made the most popular chassis for Ho slot cars and scale diagrams were essentially adapted from Aurora specs.

One can purchase a Ho Slot Car from a variety of different places. This includes a slot car specialist, a large toy store, or site such as Amazon, eBay or the Ho Slot Car site itself.
A/FX (Aurora Factory Experimentals, later known simply as "AFX") branded slot cars, slot car track sets and related accessories were first introduced in 1971 by Aurora Plastics Corporation. Production under the AFX name continued until 1983. If the company is placed in trustee.
A pancake motor is a type of electric motor, with a flat commutator and vertical shaft, used typically in slot cars. Typically, the pancake motor is found mostly in Aurora HO cars, and today is used mostly in reproductions of 1960s and 1970s Aurora HO cars.

HO railroad is a scale of a model train. I don't think it refers to a real railroad company.
Slot cars are miniature vehicles that run under their own power on tracks with a groove, or slot, guiding their motion. There are three types based on size, those built at 1:24 scale, 1:32 scale, and HO models which are built at a scale ranging from 1:64 to 1:87.
Yes.
I do not know of any Locomotives that are made in the USA, but Accurail http://www.accurail.com/accurail/ makes rail cars kits in the US. It was recommend to look at railserve.com. It is a directory for all links railroad related.
