Scalextric Catalogues

Post by Luke »

Always wanted to (at least) see a copy of the very first issue :D

Tri-ang Scalextric Catalogue ...

The 1st. Edition 1960 and here's a link https://slotracer.online/library/scalex ... -1960.html for those who never had or ever saw a copy 8-)

Plus a whole lot of other editions available at the top righthand corner of link :)

Indeed and must mention, what's real cool about the link - you can view (first-hand) nearly all the other magazines page for page from years later 8-)

I remembered owning (1 or 2) Scalextric Magazines from the early 70s to early 80s ... and one of those magazine I will not forget, maybe because I viewed it so many times ~ it's etched in my memory ;)

It also featured my very first (item no.C579) Scalextric 300 Set :)

The 18th. Edition 1977 - https://slotracer.online/library/scalex ... e-1977.php - but sadly don't have a clue where it is today in 2022 :? :(

However ...

It sure would be GREAT if someone in the World - collected all 63+ years (1960 to 2022 ...) of Scalextric Catalogues and maybe have neatly displayed to showcase 8-)

Realized how that same 2009 year, is when ... FRC Scalextric Sport Digital Racing ... actually started 8-)

I wrote "actually" because remembered hearing NEWS (late 2008) about its construction.

:arrow: https://frcforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7& ... dfa1df0348

So, in essence ...

My true-blue Scalextric Catalogue / Magazine Collection from 2008 to 2024 ... represents the same 17+ years of FRC Existence :!:

I also, have these 2 Hard Cover Books ... for the overall collection 8-)
