Matchbox powertrack slot car set

I still have mine,does anyone remember them back in the late 70's early 80's before video games took over everything. They go cheap on e-bay but not too many selling them.

Yeah used to have powertrack too. Lights stopped working on the cars after a year and one of them slowed down considerably. Consigned to the dustbin now. Not as good as scalectrix but still good fun anyway.

I got mine working again.The lights are basically a light bulb and no light bulb lasts for ever..Pity you threw it out people buy the sets for parts and even non running cars for parts,maybe I'll come accross one for sale somewhere.

Scalectrix will allways be the boss I guess thats why powertrack went downhill.

I used to have a fully working set, dunno where it is, probably in a cupboard somewhere.
