The Gadget Show team decided to pit two classic brands against each other in a bid to win a spot on the popular TV show’s "Wall of Fame".

The Gadget Show presenters each took to their allotted corners to plead their case. Otis sided with Hornby while Jason backed Scalextric. Both made excellent cases for their respective brands with Otis referring to the Hornby train set as "a beautifully engineered and generation spanning way to escape the modern world". Jason in support of Scalextric boasted the excitement of racing as well the "opportunity to pummel a mate into the dust"! Jon Bentley had a tough time deciding between the iconic brands but ultimately picked his favourite for this coveted position. Find out who won by watching the segment online.
