Hornby Railway Layout

This is my Hornby Railway Layout which measures 15ft wide by 5ft deep.

The locomotives running are:

Schools Class 928 Stowe - Golden Arrow
60103 Flying Scotsman - Blue Pullman
47709 Dionysos - Car Transporters

This layout to date has taken over 3 months to build with about the same again I recon to complete.

were did you get the ballast?

[jerseybarton]

@UrbanCrawlersClub Hi - it's many, many bags of Hornby ballast (about £100 worth) but the effect is pretty good.

[Yokey77]

where did you get the stone flooring thing on the track

[jerseybarton]

@Yokey77 Hi - it is simply Hornby medium ballast, brushed into the sleepers.

second hand hornby is very expensive still,

i can remember purchasing a battered intercity carriage for £8 alot when i was a child then, but second hand does not always mean cheap

[jerseybarton]

@Galacticmaster Whole lot would have cost less than £1000 including all the stock

@pokemaster2331 - Rollingstock (one word) usually means anything that isn't a locomotive, i.e. carriages and wagons (or passenger cars and freight cars, if you come from the USA).

@TheGazzernator - Why not try hammering track tacks into it, then use the other side when you start building? If it is too hard, try pre-drilling the holes at least part way.

Like the scrapyard on the top level I've got something similar planned for my layout somewhere to put the locos that don't run very well

@pokemaster2331 rolling stock is wagons and coaches

Good job, my Hornby is Thomas, but when I have the original hornby Thomas will meet with such great tracks and cars

[TheGazzernator]

Would someone in the model railway world tell whether 12 mm plywood is any good for a baseboard? Some books say it is ok others say it is not as its too hard for the track tacks to go into. Any info would be appreciated ASAP as I have just bought 4 sheets of 12mm ply on an online auction, so its a bit late in asking!!  Thanks.
