For those that enjoyed seeing my HST 125 on my HO layout, here’s a video I took this afternoon at the Cape Fear Railroader’s (CFRR) 3rd Saturday open house. I’m running my OO Hornby Class 43 Intercity HST 125 from the High Speed Train set (R693) on the CFRR’s HO scale layout.

Here we take a look at my beautiful Hornby Dean Single locomotive and train set. This is one beautiful train set, and it’s exclusive from Hornby. Only 1000 copies were made of the Dean Single sets. I originally wanted a Bachmann City Of Truro but given the fact the NRM would not do an over seas shipment and they were out, the next best thing I found was this limited edition Dean Single on ebay. It was expensive but worth every penny. No doubt a beautiful set, and if you’re into British steam locomotives, this set is a must have, and get it while you still can because the Dean Singles are almost gone.

Triang Hornby: Featuring a few layout tips done my own way & inspired by questions asked by visitors to my channel. Hopefully they will be useful to some of you out there? I have uploaded this video again & removed the previous one; after I’d realised I missed about 4 minutes of it when editing! Enjoy. Thanks for dropping by, cheers, John.

Nothing can beat the performance and sheer awesome elegance of the 300kph Eurostar train as it cuts through the Kent countryside heading for the Channel Tunnel and then on from there to Paris or Brussels.The stunning Hornby train set features a Power driving unit, dummy driving unit and two passenger saloons. The models include flush glazing, detailed roof panels and simulated pantographs.The track circuit sits easily on the 1800 x 1200mm (6 x 4) TrakMat and by adding Hornby Track Packs and Accessories Packs can soon be developed into a very effective model railway layout.

Hello Again, as you can see the project is moving forward and the now have the basis of a reasonable Model Railway, I have added a 3rd radius curve and some extra straight track to the existing track I had and there is still some further track to purchase. One of the important features of the layout for me was to have sufficient straight track lengths so as to allow the trains to run in a straight line without any of the carriages still negotiating the bend. Even on this baseboard which is 10 foot long 2 foot at each and is taken by the radius of the curve and I wanted to have a continuous run rather than an end to end layout, so I have managed to squeeze 6 x 6 foot straight lengths which gives a reasonable effect. What you see in this video has now been dismantled and put back in storage and was only laid down for a few hours, just so I could see how things where developing so far, if you saw my previous video’s you may also notice the addition of my new schools class which although running sadly had a fault on the locomotive on removal from the box that could not be fixed and it has been returned to Hornby for repair. However I now have quite a nice collection of Steam Locomotives and Carriages. Something I would say to anyone starting out at building a model railway is that;- The hobby is very much a collecting hobby and what you see has taken me some years to collect, buying bits and pieces here and there, so it is not an overnight event, there have been times when I

Some more footage of my model railway. The layout is approx 24 by 13 feet and is set somewhere in England in the 1980′s. It features many Hornby and Bachmann products.

At last!! After a long wait, the latest motive power has finally joined my model fleet. It’s been well worth the waiting. Any way enjoy!! (please note the super detail pack has yet to be fitted to the loco’s & also running on DC. Will be converted over to DCC shortly.)
