I was watching an episode of 'The Avengers' on TV this morning, this is the old 60's show with John Steed and Emma Peel for those who remember.
Anyway during the opening part of the show what do you see but a model train going round and round with a note in a wagon. On closer viewing it was obvious it was a Tomy 'Percy' with a couple of wagons, but of more interest to me was the track.
Although it was still 'blue plastic tracks' it was not the familiar track we know but rather more realistic. Imagine Hornby type track (rails and sleepers) but moulded in our familiar light blue plastic.
Now I've never seen Tomy track like this, but it was obviously a Tomy train as it was instantly recognisable, had the switch on the top of the cab, etc...
Anyone any idea where they got the track or do you think it was custom made for the show to make it look that little bit more realistic?!?

Happily collecting things all my life...
