Minic Motorway

The Minic Motorway system was introduced with electrically powered vehicles and expanded into a complementary system for the model railways. There were a number of associated buildings and interchange road & rail pieces, level crossings etc made to combine the two systems. Later more emphasis was placed on the racing cars etc. Production of Minic Motorways ceased in 1970.

Here is a selection from the range of vehicles etc available in 1964
