I am currently building a track layout based loosely upon the fictional village of Tannochbrae and when I saw the red booth I had to get a couple. Lemax do a lot of snow-scape figures and buildings and I have bought a few things before so know that they are approximately 1:32 scale.
Telephone Booth dimensions are 7.7 x 3.1 x 3.2 cm. They are really nice white-metal castings with a glazing and an opening door. Inside there is a representation of a pay-phone but both of mine are strangely squint.

My photographs feature feature a Carrera figure and a Scalextric figure.
From a bit of research I reckon that the booth type is a K6 with artistic licence reducing the rows of glass to 7 (from 8).


I have no connection to the suppliers, for info a link is below.  £3.82 + P/P  in their Black Friday sale.

Tired of those bump kerbs on Scalextric Sport borders making your performance cars deslot? Miss out on the black borders that had flat kerbs? Fret no more! You may have seen my previous design for flat kerb inserts for Scalextric Sport track, and this one looks very much the same with a few key differences: the dimensions have been updated so that they are easier to install and less likely to break; a chamfer was added to the top edges to help improve print quality; and now they have stripes!

.jpg 20240206_141141_HDR.jpg Size: 766.15 KB  Downloads: 156


The model files for each kerb are single STLs that have multiple bodies, allowing the visible surface to be striped however you like and using whatever color you like. With these, you can print plain ones for most of the track, but then striped ones for the apex and entry/exit of turns to make the track look a little more realistic. Note that manual filament changing will be needed if you do not have a multi-material/color machine such as a Prusa with MMU, Prusa XL, or various BambuLabs machines with AMS.

I've provided a Prusa Slicer 3mf file that has all the models split and colored like the OEM kerbs. If you need to use a different slicer than Prusa Slicer, you can still import the STL files and then use the "split to parts" function to be able to assign different colors to the tiles.

If you do not have access to a printer, or it's not large enough for some of the larger pieces, please feel free to PM me to talk about an order. Pricing is very reasonable and I ship worldwide.

I recently asked if anyone had one of the Scalextric cardboard buildings that were included in the  "Super Stox" and "Banger raceway" sets (Linky)    and my brother subsequently found some photographs on-line. 
Armed with the photos, I decided it was time to build my own. The original units sat across Scalextric track and I have Policar and Carrera so had to widen mine slightly. I wanted to make it a decent replica so left the windows and sky-lights blacked out rather than opened and glazed but the posters and such have been left off. 
I'm quite pleased with the result although I don't currently have a location for it (LOL).
The walls and roof are made using photo-mount board with the brickwork glued on.
