Triang Minic Motorway

[Titfield]

Are there any Minic Motorway collectors out there?

I am trying to find out the true value of some odds and ends of track I have,

TIA

I doubt motorway collectors would read this but a scalelectrix set soynds like the car version of a model railway. I know it is a racetrack instead but it is all I can think of. The site called Pathetic Motorways has a good section on the history and planned developments of motorways.

Minic Motorways is not the same as Scalelectrix - it is to 4mm scale and therefore much smaller that Scalelectrix. It was introduced in 1960 but was dropped by Triang Hornby around 1970. It was designed to be compatible with Triang railways, including level crossings and even a ramp leading to a car transporter wagon. I have seen some 'Vintage' layouts with quite extensive installations. I'm sure there must be a society around for this system!

You may find this site of some help.
They don't seem to give prices but they must be able to help or provide contacts.

Thanks

I am not sure the site is being updated.

A quick review of ebay seems to suggest that track fetches very little money but cars buildings and complete sets fetch good money.

I have put a couple of feelers out.
