A quick update have spotted in loft a board game with Sid James face on the box, it at this moment is trapped under a fallen plank what the damage is im not sure however I am still happy to find something that has nothing to do with trains, its some kind of horse racing game, will post pics when I manage to rescue it.

Did you ever unearth the Sid James boxed game in the attic? I remember having the game myself. A large plastic, automated horse racing game. Could have been Red Rum, endorsed by Sid on the front of the box.
