I am trying to set up a second layout,with a fair amount of track to purchase.Previous layout was a starter set,with extensions. Do any uses know of a UK source? Will be hit with import duty and VAT if over £135 from abroad .........

Kent Garden Railways have some track in stock. I also use Peco's flexible track with Märklin points. Carim I'll second Carim's suggestion of using Peco flexible track - it's fairly readily available and relatively economical to buy. Of course it takes more care to lay although I think the results are much better than using sectional track. Even if you just use it for straight sections, it will probably save you money and possibly time, too. Cheers Chris

Any other shop has to buy from Gaugemaster and do not stock Marklin despite saying they do. The UK needs an agent for Marklin but I doubt we will ever get one.
		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.
