My dad has more than that all In the boxes still. I’ve told him they’ll stay with me forever. He has miles of track too . he’s currently using my old oo gauge Hornby on a massive board and it’s 35 years old too. I’m going to have to use his 3 rail soon now I’ve seen this . He’s also got his original scaletrix set inc side cars , go karts etc from when they started but he is almost 70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
