@Dylzz82 Well I wouldn't! In the case of this layout I'm concerned not to damage the items, so I try to avoid such occurrences. If you are running Modern Hornby with conventional 2-rail wiring then a head on collision isn't possible. End on collisions can occur if you have two trains on a circuit and one stops or stalls.
@Dylzz82 Yes it would! I think it would have derailed the whole of the preceding train and thrown rolling stock everywhere, including on the floor if you are on a table.
On the whole model railways tend to have quite enough derailments anyway without looking for more!
Thanks Raymond, glad you like it! Although rather old these models remained in small scale production until quite recently under the 'Wrenn' label. There is a large collector's organisation devoted to Dublo.
Your video is great and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on some 1920's railway centenary tobacco cards and a short clip of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch miniature railway.
Thanks for your comment, there is a problem that the floor turned out not to be level! However, the rolling resistance of trains does increase on curves, and this is especially notable if you have long wheelbase stock.
great clip and great to see Hornby-Dublo running and perfect they way that freight saunters around the bend you can hear the couplings and the buffers clash
Thanks - too kind! This is my most popular clip, when I've got a proper video, another layout, and some reasonable lighting I'll try some more!
This train is composed of Dublo all metal wagons, the mineral wagons were cast mazac, the tanks are rolled metal. All wagons have metal wheels. The combination of these with the Dublo metal track makes the noise level quite considerable.
I Have been trying to stage a crash with my Hornby Train set, its not working out. Any suggestions?

@JimTLonW6 I Tried the "End On Collison" at very high speeds, but it turned out rather disastrous.

@Dylzz82 - Yeah, find some cheaper trains (Lima, Life-Like, Model Power, early Bachmann, etc.) to crash for one.

to be honest i would have run it on the inside track it a bit too much for the train to handle thats y it went slower round the bend

Hi! Thanks for your comment. You should be OK with 2 amps of output (modern models need less). I'll send a further note direct.
