and enjoy without being too fiddly to work on.

The S-scale, also known as the S-gauge, model trains designed in the
relationship of [1:64, ie 3 / 16 inch = 1 foot] and fits between the
popular HO and O scale model train. He met the demand of a scale that
was larger than HO

O Gauge Trains – My Passion in Life
I’d long yearned for a O Gauge train set like my dad’s. He had taken
the entire loft space of our house to construct a basic but beautiful
model railway.

Bassett Lowke 4-6-0 Patriot No 46102

I bought the above locomotive at an auction recently, (sold as tested, working). I do not have a layout. The model is in a display case. However, I recently tried to rotate the driving wheels by hand but found them unable to move. Should they rotate without power?
Also there are two rods with buttons on the end inside the cab. Can you tell me what these controls do?

Many thanks

If you’re modelling Hogs Meade, or platform 9 3/4, from the Harry
Potter series, this is a “must have” addition for your O-gauge layout.
The tightest curves that the train will negotiate are O-36, so if your
layout is based on O-31 or O-34 that should be fine.

Reverse Loop Operation on My O-Gauge Model Railroad Layout
When I built my layout, I incorporated two reverse loops so that I
could turn the long trains that I run no matter which direction they
were running. There’s a video showing both of the reverse loops in
operation.

O Gauge Trains Are Noted For Their Increasing Realism
O gauge trains were the most popular model trains right until the
1960s. O gauge trains are large and can take a lot of room to set up.

Full Sized Steam Trains

O Gauge Trains Driver — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:03:17 +0000

O gauge trains and model railways are great but what about full sized steam trains, narrow gauge and heritage railways?

Around Britain there are numerous steam railway museums, some of which have O Gauge model railways exhibited to give a realistic view of what the particular railway line was like back in the days of steam, and there are others with full sized original or restored steam engines and vintage carriages.

Here’s a taste of what you might see at Tenterden in Kent for example.

And of course there are all those great little trains in Wales.

How many train controllers do I need to run a single train when I have Hornby Track Extension Pack C?

O Gauge Trains Driver — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:37:32 +0000

I have just bought the Hornby Flying Scotsman Set (R1072) which includes Track Packs A (R8221) and B (R8222) and one train controller (R965). I have also bought, in addition, Pack C(R8223). How many transformers/controllers (of type R965) do I need to have to operate just my Flying Scotsman Locomotive on all of my track?
I know that if I buy another train, I will definitely need two controllers to operate both trains, but how many will I need to operate just one train?
Thank you for your help.

Visit a local hobby shop near you.
They should have a reasonable answer for you.

They are saying buy British well I bought my hubby a hornby train set ?

O Gauge Trains Driver — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:37:26 +0000

I bought my hubby a hornby train set thinking it was made in Britain only to find out it was made in China! Was Hornby ever made there?
so why has it got stamped on it “made in China”?

I heard some of their stuff is made in their factory in Margate but most of it comes from China nowadays
