Bonjour Philippe, merci pour le compliment. Ce fut également un grand plaisir de construire et de jouer avec. J'apprécie particulièrement vos vidéos du vieux Märklin H0. 👍🏼

And…….like you, I’m content to mix different makes as I feel fit. Why not? Darstaed make cracking models. Nice to observe a two track Level crossing. Very, very rare, I’ve been told. SPAD just back there.

Thanks for the compliments. The double track level crossing was my first acquisition on Ebay. Quite rare indeed, but a patient person usually finds what he is looking for. I like the rattle when a train runs over it.

@@niekvanees just found my own Double Track Level a crossing, the one a certain gentleman said Hornby never made. We are talking 3 rail LX double track, not the clockwork one which appeared in two designs only, I am reliably informed. Mine has lamp holders to add to the thrill, a nice touch.

fantastic! are your motor vehicles 1:43 or 76? extremely jealous in regard to glass gazebo station thing - never seen one before.

@niekvanees 2 жыл бұрын

The motor vehicles are DinkyToys made by Meccano Ltd. Approximately 1:43. The station canopy was made by ACE trains.

I thought hornby o guage had 2 rails not 3 but then again I am American so would not know

@niekvanees 3 жыл бұрын

Nothing wrong with being an American although I have had some doubts lately ;-). Almost all vintage toy train systems are three rail, including those in America.

The clue is in the word "electric". Hornby O gauge electric was (mainly) pre-World war 2 on a 20v system. Post-war production was as far as I know, entirely clockwork and without most of the higher-end pre-war locos, so therefore no need for the third rail

Lionel ( being American ) has a three rail system. Clearly time for some education?

@@Vinyl_guy that’s great news to read about. What might make your heart beat a little faster is that Lionel track ( 3 rail ) was a heavy influence on the designs Frank Hornby chose after about 1923 onwards. Lionel had, so to speak, go there first, and Frank borrowed several ideas and designs from his leading rivals and in doing so gave them a tweak or two. Or - he had his own stuff made under licence and arranged for his makers badge to be put on each and every item before sending them out to the shops and department stores. All very enigmatic.
