Melbourne 1970s Digital - Tds76 - 3rd-Nov-20

As mentioned in my introduction, I have have grown up with Scalextric since my young days in Coventry in the 70s and 80s. Having accumulated bits and pieces for years I finally had the space to build a permanent track for errr, my two boys. 

This is the current iteration. I went through a few attempts and different layouts/scenery before I settled on this version.

Inspiration was the amazing catalogues that Scalextric used to knock out. Images like this one:

I used to see these around when I was young - I grew up near the competitions dept at Stoke Plant. Peugeot Talbot was also my first employer.
