MarkC66 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hi all, Just a quick question, I am the proud owner of two analog Scalextric sets, I am looking to combine them into a single layout fixed to a base board so it can be stood up when not in use.Does anyone know if Scalextric intend to re introduce their clips for fastening the track to a board, I see very litttle options by third party manufacturers as well.Its seems Scalextric are getting right out of fixed layouts(all the stuff currently unavailable), yet Carrera have a heap of stuff for fixing and decorating tracks.Anyway I'll keep searchingRegards Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodcote Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hi Mark - welcome to the forum! You're right, the track fixing clips have not been available for a while. There might be some out there somewhere in a retailer's dusty spares box, but I imagine most have been rooted out by now. I have no idea if there are plans to reintroduce them in the future - although the new catalogue is unveiled on Monday. Another way of attaching Scalextric track to a base board is to use a small amount of silicone sealant (silicone 'caulk' in north America). Run along the bottom edges of the assembled track, it is secure and flexible (which allows for a small amount of flexing caused by temperature changes) and can easily be removed by running a knife between track and board. Works for the borders and barriers too. I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
