Hello and welcome aboard Jacob.  

As you are just returning to the hobby I would strongly recommend a read of our manual LINK which covers most of the basics.

Re your specific queries on the chicane and gantry, these are best powered separately from your track. Any 12v plug in transformer will do, you don't need a specific Scalextric item for them.

Thanks for the link, I shall have a read. 

So run a old style transformer that the hoops can slot onto, plus the transformer running the set itself?

Would the chicane be an issue?
The modern analogue set my son has (the new KITT vs. BTTF Dalorian) is obviously being powered & adding in the chicane will be part of the electrical circuit. Would powering the that section of track with extra juice be an issue? 

Appreciate advice. 

Thanks to both for the warm welcome!
