Question from Anne
Posted On 2010-01-26 , 4:26 PM
Ann says "that it is her son that is into model trains and that he has an old Hornby set that was past onto him from his Grandfather. Ann's father has just given him some track that he has had for a long time, and we wondered if it is worth restoring it and if we can collect anymore tracks and parts for it - I dont know if you can identify it for me, i will attached the pictures of it just in case."
Here are the pictures 
   "One piece has a stamped mark on it "trade mark GERMANY" and all the other pieces have a stamp that just says "GB PATENT. Any ideas? thanks ANN"
Please leave a comment if you can help Ann - thanks

The Newcomer's Guide to Model Railways:
A Step-by-step Guide to the Complete Layout
This book elps modellers expand their skills and explore fresh techniques, from the essential basics to the intricacies of Digital Command Control, leading to the goal of the hobby - to build and operate a model railway. The book is rated 4.5/5 from its readers and some comments from reviews are below:
"I am sure it would appeal to a keen beginner, but it is actually quite detailed and could be used as a reference book for experienced modellers too. What interested me was seeing in detail how DC layouts are set up (I never had any complicated DC layout as I got stuck into DCC from the outset). Anyone wanting to set-up isolated power sections and multiple controllers on a DC layout will find this useful. "
"It is the kind of book you will go back to time and again, more of a handbook, but still a good read in itself. The author has a website where you can contact him with questions and observations and there is a useful list of websites in the back of the book. "
"I'm reading through this comprehensive guide, loadsa pics which helps enormously. I would recommend this guide to all railway modelers."
"For a beginner to model railway layout and running this is the must book. Covers everything from initial layout through to baseboards, scenery construction and running. Also very up to date with DCC. Lots of information also for the 'old hands'!"
