Re: Scalextric, the newly opened M1 edition!
I sold all my Minic stuff about five years ago, when I became full-time carer for Mother. I was quite surprised how much I was offered for a "job lot", considering the buyer was a dealer.
My first "set" was a pair of buses (a Routemaster and a Duple coach), bought as a Christmas present in the early 60s - along with a level crossing so it could be part of the model railway. The coaches and Bedford TK wagons were a lot nearer to scale then the cars were: IIRC the Austin A40 was almost as long as the Humber and Rolls! The E-type annoyed me though - useless road holding and the front was so high that it looked as if there was a large jack under it!
The later (mid 60s) ones were much better - improved pickup and better motors: the power "rails" in the tracks used to lift at the ends and, with the early pickups
would send the vehicle flying if you hit the "square" end!
