Hi Glenn, I agree... Will set it up so as to look like it's controlling the layout, but will use a more updated version for running the Loco's. Ian.

Looks really great, Ian. I am actually thinking about buying some Hornby too as they are much more affordable than pre-war Marklin 00 but have the same great look. It is also a little less stressful to run them around the tracks :-)
Also there is more variety with English livery models and English outline whereas Marklin just has the E 800 LMS and a few others with English paint scheme. I think Hornby and Marklin 00 would go great together on a layout.
Best,
Paul |

Hi Paul,
Thanks, yes you're right, the track does look very good, I'm looking forward to setting up a modest layout.
Ian.

Hi Ian, Interesting hobby collecting old Hornby Dublo, and you have got some nice items there. I find the controllers actually work quite well. About the turntable, I believe it would more than adequately fit OK in a Marklin layout. I don't have the room for a turnatable on my Marklin layout, but I would certainly try the HD one. regards Kimball |

Hi Ian,
Regards the level crossing, when complete, they came with a half rail length.
It had two strips of bakelite between the rails to simulate the roadway. Easily obtainable from eBay.
regards

Hi all, Last Saturday, as part of our 2 day Club Meeting, we all met at the Falkirk Model Railway show, we spent around 3 hours, but try as I might, I couldn't find any Märklin , but did get this Hornby Dublo Station for that layout.

Hi Ian Looks nice with the trains in front. From here it looks like the station name is Newark - if that is right, Newark looks a little different these days. Mike |

Hi Mike, Newark is the name of the station, and I'd hope it looks a little different now... Ian.
