Where can ready made race track scenery be had from. Life is too short for paper, card or scratch build models.
What do you guys use?

Model railways are universally and continually popular and roads to enhance the layout abound, but why not a standalone model roadway in its own right. There are some very intricate and expensive road systems out there but slot systems are cheaper and could be made into a very interesting layout with scenery and buildings without a railway in sight.
Has anyone done this ?

Quote:Hornby Hobbies Agrees Sale of Scalextric in £20m Deal
 
27 February 2026 - Hornby Hobbies Limited has agreed the sale of 100% of the Scalextric brand, including its intellectual property and associated assets, toScalextric Motorsports Ltd for total consideration of £20.0 million. £8.5 million of the total consideration is payable in cash upfront, with the remaining £11.5m deferred and payable out of free-cash flow. Completion of the sale is conditional upon certain consents, with completion expected to occur in early March.
 
Scalextric Motorsports Ltd has been established by Mark Brown, Chairman of Purbeck Capital Partners, to be the holding company of the brand in the future.  Mark brings extensive experience in brand growth, capital allocation and operational execution. As part of the transaction, Mark has agreed to an ongoing role helping Hornby on its wider strategic transformation.
 
Under the terms of the agreement, Scalextric’s operations will continue to be supported within Hornby’s existing infrastructure. Hornby will manage the brand as agent, ensuring operational continuity while enabling Scalextric Motorsports Ltd to focus on accelerating the brand’s next phase of growth.
 
The sale represents an important milestone in Scalextric’s growth journey. With additional capital and independent ownership, the brand will be well positioned to accelerate development across both established and new categories, and to expand its domestic and international footprint.
 
Olly Raeburn, CEO of Hornby Hobbies, commented:
“This is a hugely exciting development for the Scalextric brand, building on the work from our teams that has made such encouraging progress over the last couple of years. Mark's leadership will bring enormous experience, energy and enthusiasm to the business and we look forward to supporting the execution of his vision and strategy. We have enjoyed working with him to get this transaction over the line and are now focused on converting all of the positive discussions into reality and growth for Scalextric.”
 
On behalf of Scalextric Motorsports Ltd., Mark Brown commented:
“We are both honored and thrilled to be acquiring such an iconic British motorsport brand which has been bringing family and friends together for motor racing competition, excitement, and fun at home for nearly 70 years, spanning four generations.  As we look to a long-term future with Scalextric as a now family-owned company, we are energised by the opportunity to continue bringing competitive racing fun to families, while expanding into new areas of motorsport helping to build physical and hand-eye coordination skills, particularly at a time when families are trying to balance time spent online versus real world activities.”

I am also into classic cars and one particular iconic small British car in particular.
Being unable to find a classic mini in micro I decided to make one. I used the body of a pull back and go model and grafted it to a micro chassis.

   

   

It runs really well.

Hi Folks,
I have the Scaleauto SC-5040 tire truer. (Photo below for reference)  It has served me well over the years, but I would like to move away from the sanding drums to an abrasive metal drum. Does anyone know if the SC-5073B abrasive drum intended for the "newer" SC-5072 EVO 2 truer fits the older one.  For reference, the shaft in the 5040 is 5mm and the drum diameter with abrasive mounted is ~34mm.

Thanks!
Brian

I have been playing with micro scalextric. Been into scalextric for years but a mistaken purchase of a micro car sent me on this venture. Also I use the track for car roadway on ho train layouts.

Hello all
Been into scal3xtric for decades but recently have gotten into micro ho stuff.
Will post more in ho section

This posts for Ken,

Here is the rest of the pictures that I could not post in the original Ad. 

Thank you. 

ORIGINAL AD: 
Hi, 
 
I am looking to sell my Fly cars /Slot.it collection I have acquired over the last several years. I am located near Boise Idaho. 
 
All cars are NEW, displayed behind glass, but never ran. Unfortunately, some have cracked tires from Sitting (see detailed descriptions). The Cracked tires were probably my fault for tightening the restraining screws too tight before storing them. They were always stored indoors. 

I spent some time researching the most recent SOLD pricing. I wrote the "average" price next to the car name below. That is not including the crazy shipping costs I saw that were not included in the sold price. MOST CARS ARE $20.00+ minimum+ TO SHIP – Some out of the country are $50.00+! 
 
Again, the prices below are NOT what I am asking for them, they are the average recent cost to buy or recent sold auctions. The cars with the cracked tires are also noted in the descriptions.
 
Taking the average on the LOW side I am seeing over $2000.00+ in cars NOT including a deduction for the cars with the cracked tires or the crazy shipping charges.
 
I am looking to sell the entire collection at one time. I am Asking $950.00 obo as a fair price+ shipping.
 
Let me know if you have any questions or need anymore pictures. 

AGAIN, THE PRICES YOU SEE NEXT TO EACH DESCRIPTION IS JUST AVERAGE RECENT SOLD PRICES I FOUND ONLINE. I am Asking $950.00 obo as a fair price+ shipping.
