Something completely different....

Had em all.. Motorific, Switch'n Go and another set similar to Motorific and I can't remember the name of it. The difference was that it had beaded plastic chain in the slot, like in a car wash or the SF cable cars that pulled the cars around. It didn't work very well and I returned it. I wasn't too enamored with my Switch'n Go either but I did like the Motoriffic best. I think my set was the Indy 500. Oh and the Trik Trak that was a very early one I had. No I wasn't a spoiled child except at Christmas we usually got what we pestered for.

Pete, I think

The beaded chain raceway was the Matchbox Motorway. Tell me if this rings a bell.

Yup, that's it Kevin. Are you going for it?

No feel free Pete

...if you want to bid on it.

Eventually I will add one to The Collection. Believe it or not, a few years ago I won on Ebay a box, never opened, of the adhesive and little posts you stuck on the bottom of a Matchbox for this set. The interesting thing is by this method you could "race" any Matchbox!

I'm not planning on bidding Kevin. Don't need to become addicted to something else LOL. In trying to remember why I never kept it I think it was because the plastic conveyor chain kept popping out of the slots or binding, enough to take the fun out of it. A good idea that never worked properly in my case anyways and was a disappointment because I wanted it all set up on the ping pong table with my electric trains. Trains have always been my biggest toy fascination, though I never kept up with them I still love watching/playing with electric train sets. When I'm wealthy and retired LOL I'd love to have a G scale set running around the yard.
