Scalextric Classic track, power and control

Slotcarcentre > Track and borders > 

Classic track Do you have lots of old "classic" track (see photo) - with the spoon-shaped connectors at either end and a rough kind of track surface? If so, you can still use this within a digital circuit, as long as the track is in good condition (not warped), and with all the connecting lugs intact.

There is a wide range of interesting track pieces you might want to try using, that are no longer manufactured but still widely available second hand. To incorporate these in your digital circuit you will need pairs of C8222 Converter Straights (see below). Some racers prefer the rougher surface of this type of track compared to the modern Sport track, but no reason why your circuit can't use both types. Also some users will tape their classic track rails with copper tape to ensure good electrical connection. Also, if you are clearing out your loft and come across small quantities of old Scalextric cars and/or track in good condition and you would like to get rid of them, by all means contact us with details before you take them to the skip, and we may be able to help - use the contact form link above or call 01934 743250 to enquire further. You will need to send photos though. It's unlikely we would be able to give you any cash for them but the WEEE (waste electricals) regulations mean we are supposed to take these items off your hands rather than have you dump them at the municipal tip. If you want to earn some money for your old Scalextric you could try and sell items individually on Ebay - you would get more for them than selling as a job lot - but it's more effort on your part to create all the listings and despatch all the parcels. Alternatively if you have some vintage Scalextric you'd like valued, visit the specialist auction and valuation services advertised on this NSCC page.

Old and new track codes Classic track and Sport track have the same dimensions but different product codes. Here's a quick translation guide to show you the old track piece and its modern equivalent reference: C160 straight: C8205 C8004 start straight: C7018 (digital half straight) C159 half straight: C8207 C158 quarter straight: C8200 C157 short straight: C8236 C151 R2 curve: C8206 C154 half R2 curve: C8234 C156 R1 90 curve: C8201 (with close rails) C152 R1 45 curve: C8202 C153 R3 curve: C8204 PT84 R4 curve: C8235 PT55 R1 half inner: C8278 C187 R2 banked: C8296 (different banking system)

About this track Unless otherwise stated, all the Classic track below is second hand, unboxed, and has been superficially cleaned, checked for presence of all connectors, and any rust removed. So it should be in working condition, clean and pretty flat but an extra touch of Plebys will always help to shine the rails and improve electrical conductivity on some of these track pieces many of which will be upwards of 20 years old. Track could be Hornby or Triang versions, not possible to specify. Some may have small marks or holes where screws have been used in the past. Note that Classic track has a slightly shallower slot than modern Sport track - if you find some of your modern cars are bottoming out in the slot, you will need to file or trim a millimetre or so off the bottom of the guide blade. If your order of Classic track totals more than £30, use voucher code BULKCLASSIC for a discount at the checkout.
