British Rail 1980s Model Trains Hornby Part 8

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. Once again, HSTs are seen speeding around withe the superb Cl 50 hauling rakes of NSE coaches and Cl56 hauling long freight trains. Thanks for those who have given feedback, I am trying to slow them down...

Nice layout

[zzpjl8]

Hi there; you cannot use live OHLE with DCC. Thanks for the info, and the other complication is when you have hidden sections with OHLE live, you need to run the wires all the way around the layout. Also, by the way, since Hornby went to the 5 pole ringfield motors, overhead current collection is not enabled. There is an 'add-on' label added to the box stating such. regards Nick

Any Tips On Where To Start A Model Railway Layout For The First Time? My Cousin Is A Carpenter & The Base Board Will Be No Problem.

Hello there, look, I always recommend Hornby. Buy a train set which comes with a trak mat and this will get you started, by simply adding to a piece of flat thick chipboard. Good Luck!

Do you use any track underlay if so what sort?

[zzpjl8]

Hi, I do not use track underlay; it only has a life of about 6 years and then 'decomposes'. Recommend you either use cork, or pin directly to baseboard (which is what I do) regards

@trainsify - No Need To Start Every Word With A Capital.

Just the first word of the sentence is sufficient.

@zzpjl8 "You cannot use live OHLE with DCC".

Okay - now please tell us why not.
