Good afternoon, I have a vintage Eldon trackthat I recently started running again. . I just purchased a brand new 1/32 Scalextric car. When I place it on the track all it does is make noise and vibrate. It essential goes nowhere. Is this common for these cars when used on older track? Was I suppose to do something special to the care once I removed it from the box? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you George
