Scalextrics or model railway?

[BrowneIssue]

For one of those two items, I have it as a specified item on my contents insurance. It counts as a collection and far exceeds the 'single item limit'. Want to know which one?

what did you prefer as a kid? oh, and no AndyW option. let it lie, you sad mongs!

I'm not telling 'cos apparently, I'm a sad mong.

Won't play our games, won't play yours.

Airfix was good too. Especially the Lancaster bomber.

Yes indeed it was good. The sailing ships kept you busy for hours too, and with the rigging look impressive to boot.

Scalextrics wins every time. But as I got a baby girl, I'll have to make do with Barbie

I think that Meccano gave me more hours of fun.

Thanks for reminding me about these two. My ex-mrs forbid me from having racing cars when we were living abroad. We had a nice open-plan condo that was gagging for a large layout. Talking with some of the other British/Irish ex-pats down the local revealed a large interest for race nights.


But now she is history .....

revealed a large interest in drunken sexual escapades. Shirley?

They were both rubbish.

Scalextric cars always crash and fall off and train sets go round in circles for ever if the rails are not loose (which they will be).

I gave up on both and played with electricity. The results were not always as I'd intended.

They'll never find the body...

Where is the "Both are pointless" option?

Humbug.

lol it's not zimbabwe, no-one's actually forcing you to vote...

Had both, trains were dull and with Scalextric the cars kept coming off.

My step brother had 'TCR' (total control racing) best of both worlds.

Trains are cool. Cars fall off the track - well when I'm driving they do.
