U.S. and Europe built toy cars that ran on diesel, rubber bands, and even wind-up, clockwork mechanisms. But electric cars were a rarity until the 1950s, when British racers brought them back thanks to their clean, quiet, and sustainable mode of propulsion. Likewise, British slot cars could be modified with tires that gripped the track better, high-performance motors, magnets to help the car stay on the track, and replacement conductors for better control. If you were really ambitious, you could even build a car from scratch, doing all your own soldering and wiring. British company Playcraft Model Motoring had a slot car display at a London toy show.

With older, analog sets, each car had to be in its own racing lane so it could be operated by a single controller directly plugged into that lane’s electrical supply.
