Two complete sets of Wrenn Formula 152 Slot Car Racing sets plus additional track. Too much to list but sets are complete with mains power unit. There are original receipts and brochures / instruction manuals and track layout plans. Lots of spare track. Some cars will need some TLC to get them all up and running, but generally in reasonable condition considering their age! I intended to refurbish the cars but do not have the time. In 1960, the Wrenn Railways branched out into electric car racing toys similar to Scalextric but whereas Scalextric adopted the popular 1/32 scale, Wrenn produced their "Formula 152 model racing system" to 1/52, and with a twin conductor rail on each side of the 'slot' the system was capable of running three cars at a time on each track. The smaller scale meant that quite comprehensive circuits could be fitted on to an 8' x 4' baseboard, but generally, electrical conductivity was quite fragile, so many users adopted a practice of a second conductor track piece on the far side of the circuit.
