I believe that this set is used to extend the R140 gantry. This is an old set so you might need to hunt around. There are several other Hornby models with the same R number so you might get some different models showing on a search.

Have you considered adding a 3 more boards to the existing one that you have so that you can make a modular circular layout? I looked at these boards a while back when considering a layout and felt that they were easy to join together but decided to make my own boards in the end.

Maps provide great inspiration to me, these are then followed up by as many photos of the location that I am modelling as I can find. I do enjoy modelling locations that are close(ish) to me.

The Plymouth - Saltash auto service changed its formation during the day depending on load need. Some services were 2 coaches (loco then 2 coaches), others were 4 coaches (2 coaches - loco - 2 coaches). The loco would have come off the coaches for servicing.

Also known as tin plate track.

As others have already said it does not look like Mazak rot. Attached is a picture of a Hornby Merchant Navy front bogie that had Mazak rot. It is very clear to see the expansion cracking and flaking paint.

The dongle acts like a bluetooth decoder, so you can only access it from the device that it is assigned to. Once assigned it can't be used by another device unless the previous device releases it (just like the bluetooth decoders).

I used a Hornby decoder in my County before swapping it for an HM7000 decoder. I did find it a pain to get the tender body off but managed it without any special tools.

I was very pleasantly surprised at the running qualities of my little Peckett 0-4-0 loco.

The address that they give on the website is dubious. The postcode does not exist, the address is for a large retail park however the addresses in the retail park appear to be different.

These are showing in stock in several retailers now.

Using an iPad Air 4 with the most up to date IOS it will generally give me an estimated time of 25 minutes but this rapidly changes and the actual time taken is between 11 and 15 minutes. When loading from the phone (iPhone SE2) the estimated time is 25 minutes but the actual time is 13-18 minutes. On the phone there are 3 locos in the engine shed on the iPad there are about 20, with a mix of tsx, tts and non Hornby sound decoders, non Hornby silent DDC decoders.

I don't. Possibly I was not very clear but I have a different fleet of locos on each device.

N gauge is a much smaller market with a couple of big players (in terms of the market) already present. Several years ago there may have been a gap that Hornby could have exploited. It is also possible that they were unhappy with the sales of the 5BEL that they produced via the Arnold brand.

This is my video of fitting the light strip into a MK3 coach. https://youtu.be/rFrYTcNBoTc
