Alanburford9101 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Is there any great difference between Hornby track and Fleischman?? Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntpntpntp Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) In what way? The rail code of both system is 100. I'm not sure if the width of the foot is compatible with Hornby to fit rail joiners? (In N gauge the Fleischmann rail has a wider foot than Peco for example) Geometry is probably different (would need to check the catalogues) so curve radii and point angles etc. may not mix-and-match. Back-to-back standards - I expect Fleischmann will follow NEM standards but no idea about Hornby. General look - well Fleischmann is pre-ballasted track so looks quite different to Hornby. I believe Fleischmann took over Roco's HO un-ballasted track system when the two brands merged (that's what happened with the N gauge track systems) so you may have a choice of ballasted or un-ballasted. Bottom line is I wouldn't go trying to mix brands of track on a layout. As to whether Hornby models will run on Fleichmann track, I have no experience. I have run Fleischmann stock on Hornby, Peco and Kato track without problems. Edited March 8 by ntpntpntp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HST Mainline Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Keep in mind that the Fleischmann track is no longer in production. I suggest you look for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
