Selling O Guage Trains Layout and Track

O Gauge Trains Driver — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 13:33:35 +0000

Do you have any advice for selling O Gauge trains and track?

We’ve received this enquiry:

My late husband had an O Gauge layout in our garden, since, I have had it taken to pieces as i could not look after it. Could you possibly let me know the best way to go about selling selling the train and track that was not used?
Thank you

Three O Gauge Trains Items

O Gauge Trains Driver — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 16:20:42 +0000

I just wanted to show you these three O Gauge trains items. They are all from the Hornby clockwork O gauge trains range as fasr as i can tell, certainly I recognise the level crossing directy from my own memory. The goods van brake van is very familiar too. I’m not quite so sure about the tin plate station though. It would fit in well with any O gauge train set layout I believe, but I’m not convinced it’s a Hornby original. Anyway, here are the pictures:

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

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
