Scalextric however never really got boring, can always re-design the track and add extra bits, where as in the trainset its a tad more difficult, specially if you do the whole landscaping thing along side which I did.
Don't know much about this new age digital scalextric but for the smell alone of the old stuff I'd be getting out the cars!
Edit: Just noticed you say you want to do the whole landscaping thing, tbh 8x6 is a tad small for scalextric unless as mentioned you go multi level
