Scalextric Power Issue


Recommended Posts

Hi all, new to scalextric and want a little advice on power to the track please from those in the know. I brought some track secondhand and then discovered there are no power supplies at all in them. The track I have compromises of eight different complete

 

sets and a lot of other add ons. All in all it will make a four lane track approx 3.5 metres long and 2.5m across. My question is simple what do I need to buy to power it up. I have 8 different bits of track where the power and car controllers fit into but

 

need to know what to power from the mains to the track. I have asked the Support team at Hornby and not received a reply. I can't just walk into a shop in the UK as i live in Cambodia and there are no dealers here at all. Grateful for any advice or assistance

 

please. Kev

I am led to believe that the Hornby DCC 4Amp PSU can be used with Scalextric sets.
