Triang Hornby 'The Layout & Why. Lord Of The Isles & Caladonians'

Featuring: Triang R354/R37 4-2-2 Lord Of The Isles loco & tender, 2 x Triang R553/R554/R763/R764 4-2-2 Caladonian single loco's/tender's in Maroon & Blue liveries. Plus a description/trip around my temporary layout & why.

Sorry for misdescribing [on the voice over] the 3 locos as 4-4-0 wheel arrangement.....I should have said 4-2-2. Also, the 4-6-2 blue loco in the sidings is 'Saint Frusquin' not 'Sir' as I described.

This is my temporary layout and it's a bit 'round & round' for the moment! I have pinched every inch out of my small spare room for now with a view to moving everything into the attic/loft in the New Year [2012].....hence no ballast, grass, sceenary etc yet. Thanks for your interest and dropping by. Cheers, John.

Hi Graham, yes, well spotted. I actually mention this in one of my videos. The centre main line & everything in the middle is all Super 4. The outer & middle main lines are all Hornby Series 6 / Peco Setrack 100. I've changed many wheels on locos & rolling stock to run them on the later track but some items are best left to a dedicated Super 4 track. Once in the attic I'll have 2 dedicated Super 4 lines & 4 Hornby Series 6 lines.

Thanks for dropping by, cheers, John.

Thanks for your kind words Andrew (I think it's Andrew). Videoing and youtube is all new to me so I'll try and do my best. Cheers, John.

[rolandcamper]

why the company Hornby does not release the old electric locomotives with huge wheels that look like the tram ?!!

Looks good John. Are you using Triang Super 4 on the inside and later Hornby/Peco on the larger curves? Graham
