These old Hornby Dublo locos were built like tanks. Seemingly indestructible, easily repairable. The only downside is their magnet, which diminishes over time. If you can get it re-magnetised, the loco will pull as strongly as the day it left the factory. Far more robust than modern locos, which will break if you happen to pick them up the wrong way. There's great satisfaction to be had in bringing to life a model railway from the 1950s.

Item arrived quickly. Print quality is very fuzzy, map is paper, badly creased at folds and tears easily. Way bigger than I anticipated so unable to use. Would be ok secured to a base board if you had the space and might look ok when the track is complete.

This track segment provides the span of over two and a half Double Straights while bypassing the need for the three connections required to join them. Plus they can be gently curved around your scenery or help match up different segments of track in a less regimented way. Attach fish plates (not included) and to other track segments with great care, as it is easy to distort the track and straightening the sleepers back up can be difficult. They need to be stuck down to hold a curved shape but they can be used straight in a temporary layout. There are gaps between sleepers at quarter intervals to allow cables to be run under the rails. There are no gaps between sleepers and rails to install a power clip.

It is about the right length, to present model train and tender on track mainly for presentation purposes on shelves within a display cabinet!

Hornby track is well made and constructed, the nickel silver has good corrosion resistance. The R605/R607/R609 curves and R600/R601 are good for basic layouts. These are 'code 100' which is slightly overscale but cost effective and great for starters to the hobby.

The mat is a very good way to design your track layout, but I wish I could have got one which was made from plastic, since the paper one was obviously creased. However, it's done the job, and didn't cost the earth.
