Hi all , just bought a Humber super snipe and caravan made for minic motorways and was surprised how good they are . We are now toying with further expense but before we do does anyone have any recolections or knowledge of these ? _________________ 1968 Volvo Amazon estate (Gracie)

I had a small set back in the 60's, the car was an Austin A40 and there was a Bedford TK truck as well. Where it went to I have not a clue!

Have some track for this system, and maybe some cars & controllers too ?
havent been in the shed for a few years, but it all might still be there. _________________ http://www.eurods.eu/wp/index.html |

I have a fairly large collection of Minic Motorways (+50 cars and load of track, buildings, etc) and think its brilliant. Its good on its own but as it integrates with 00 gauge train layouts it was way ahead of its time.
You can still pick up bits and pieces for your collection at modest prices. The track rubber shrinks and splits so the conductors collapse and the cars wont go round but new track rubber is available as are brushes for the old and new style motors and other bits and pieces.
I have reconditioned a small circuit and can get a variety of cars, trucks and buses running round at my command. Just the job.
