I'm back from my short break now, slightly bedraggled, but rested and ready to try some new projects - more of that will follow later - I've already mentioned CAT and Cougar spares, but one slot-car project is definitely secret 'til it's released.   Your feedback is still just as good as ever - thanks to you, I've now got my purple star! As usual, I will continue to to issue feedback immediately on receipt of payment. I've never believed in using my feedback as a blackmail tool and I'm glad to say that a massive proportion of you have responded positively to this!

Classic Cars - Brand New! 'Brand New in box' Scalextric Classics.   Sorry, they've all gone!    I promise to properly revise this page just as soon as I get the time!   The Tyrrell is now in my private collection, which makes up my set of four late '80's F1's: Williams, Ferrari, Benetton and Tyrrell.   I left it 'til almost the end of the current listing period - just 10 hours to go, and no action. Then I found out that one of my sometime customers had recently sold a reconditioned second-hand one for nearly £25, which is more than I was asking for a brand-new-in-box one!    I NEEDED NO FURTHER TEMPTATION, IT WAS TIME IT WENT INTO MY COLLECTION!   I will, of course, be looking to replace these with my own second-hand recons (I don't think I will be lucky enough to pick up any more brand new classics at a price that I can re-sell them).   I have another idea in the pipeline, but its' development trials will be likely to take a while before it is ready for the market. More news for you in the Autumn, I hope.

As you may have gathered, I'm overwhelmed by all your feedback, but especially that on my braids. To see my full range of all Hi-Spec packs and sizes and get the low-down on just which braids fit which car-types, just visit my new Hi-Spec Braids Page One of my 'Down Under' customers (thanks Graeme, if you read this!) has sown the seeds of an idea that there might be a place for a pack size in between the 10-pack and the Trader pack, so that anyone wanting a big quantity, but owning cars of different types/ages, so need both sizes of braid. You need more than 20, but 200 would be over-kill! I would be interested on hearing your thoughts on this - just hit any 'Contact Me'  link, either here or from a listing, to send me an e-mail

Spares, spares, SPARES!!  !              !                                  

More to follow too, including HORNBY,
HUMBROL  and many others.

 And,
I can't call these new anymore,
but their reception's been fantastic -- THANKYOU!                       

In addition to my standard Scalextric Replacement Headlamp Bulb,                                                    
which I have always sold separately at 99p, I have now sourced a supply                                                  
of identical size, super-spec. lamps at a super discount price.                                                          

I am now, as always, passing this on to my customers in return for                                               
not making me put them all in individual bags!                                                                                       

                                          

Two Bulbs for just £1.59               Replacement Headlamp Bulb (2-pack)

                                         

                                         Ten Bulbs for just £5.95              Replacement Headlamp Bulb (10-pack)

As a 12-volt lamp, these bulbs are also eminently suitable for Railway Modellers!                         

AND, because they start to give off light at low voltages (4.8/5-volts gives a gentle orange) getting progressively
brighter as they approach 12-volts, they are also fantastically useful for Buggy/Monster Truck custom builders
