Morning everyone, I have recently purchased a job lot of brand new Hornby set track which is being delivered on Monday. Its for a new project I’m starting in April but some people have said I’ve made a mistake by not purchasing Peco track I personally have had no experience of using Hornby track have I made a mistake? thanks Red

Thank you for the reply’s much appreciated Red

Good luck with your new layout and thank you for the repl.

Good Morning Everyone, I live in a small bungalow sadly there is not enough room for a layout inside. The loft is very small and crampt so I can’t have a layout up there. So a few years ago with help I built a layout inside my carport on a wooden frame with wheels that’s roughly 2mx2m it’s nothing fancy but it allows me to run my trains I don’t care about scenery I just love running trains .The layout is great in warmer weather but sadly during winter I can’t really go out there for long periods of time especially with my serious health Issues’s. So I have given this some though and came up with idea of a summer house with a layout inside. It will let plenty of light in and I can use a small electric heater in colder months maybe I could insulate the insides. For security I would never leave my Trains or rolling stock in there overnight they would be locked away inside the house and I have a good CCTV system. Good Idea or not ? cheers Red

Thank you everyone for the reply’s much appreciated

Good Evening Everyone, I want to make my own 00 gauge platforms soon and I’m looking into the correct height measurements. I have tried searching the Internet and found a few different opinions. cheers Red.

Thanks for all the replys much appreciated

Good Evening, I’m entering my second year is this hobby and love it, My house is a little small so my layout is in the carport and is roughly 3mx2m and is mounted to movable wooden frame that I built. My track works fine however I could of taken more time and done a better job. So tonight I watched some YouTube videos wow so many different opinions on track laying. i use flexi track and pre wired fish plates and I’m happy with that dession my question are 1.Some people don’t agree with expansion gaps (should I use them as mines outside) 2 Some people solder there track together good idea or not? 3. On some videos they pinned track on the sides of the sleepers and some in the middle of the sleepers Which is best.? thanks in advance Red

Thank you everyone much appreciated

Hi, Thank you for the replys, I have checked and the locomotive was made in China. Does anyone also know where the lubrication points are? thanks Red

Good Afternoon everyone, Today I purchased a Hornby Flying Scotsman the locomotive is used and came with no service information. The locomotive is Tender driven and runs quietly and smoothly. However I would like some service information if anyone could help, sorry I couldn’t find a model number. Thanks Red.
