Rail cars stay on the track primarily due to the design of their wheels and the tracks themselves. The wheels are shaped with a conical profile, allowing them to fit snugly within the rails, which helps guide the cars along the track. Additionally, the rails are mounted on ties and ballast, providing stability and support to maintain the proper alignment and elevation. This combination of wheel shape and track structure helps prevent derailment while allowing for smooth movement.

How does the scalextric track work?
Scalextric tracks operate using a system of electrified slot car racing. Each slot on the track has a conductive rail that powers the cars, which are equipped with a small guide blade that fits into the slot, allowing them to stay on the track. When the user presses the throttle on the controller, it sends electricity to the car, propelling it forward. The speed can be controlled by varying the amount of electricity delivered, allowing for dynamic racing experiences.
