Just a passing comment on power supplies...
Once upon a time, our Scalextric track and Triang Smoothflow transformer were stored on top of the wardrobe in the bedroom that my brother and I shared. Storing stuff on top of wardrobes was a "thing" then - H&S had not been neccessary. One day I was retrieving the set and managed nudge the transformer sending it down to the floor. Fortunately my right foot provided a soft landing for the transformer and it came to no harm. My foot was not so robust and (no slippers on) ended up with a deep gash between two toes. Mother duly took me to the doctor (I don't think A&E had been necessary in those days) and he duly applied a new fangled "plaster" that he said would avoid having to stitch the wound.
My foot still bears the scar and would provide an identification mark if necessary.
Below is the best photograph I could find of a Smoothflow transformer of the same type.
