@@andriesgrabowsky2717 Het assortiment van BillerBahn was niet heel groot dus relatief makkelijk te completeren. Wat overigens niet wil zeggen dat ik alles heb maar ik ben tevreden ;-)

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. 👍🏼

Totally agree. Thank you for the appreciation.

You’re welcome. Enjoy.

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

@@niekvanees thank you very much for your prompt answer - will research canopy when funds permit :)

I definitely like gauge 1, especially the ones that run on steam, but I don't have them.

Thanks for the compliment. It was a lot of fun playing with the trains and making the videos. Best regards to you.

No, as far as Hornby is concerned, I only collect what they produced for the British market, especially LNER and BR.

Indeed they did. For the export market. Quiet hard to find these days

@@niekvanees Those Argentinian liveries look interesting, though I haven’t found evidence about the Dutch or Scandinavian models existing.

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.

In de Jaarbeurshallen te Utrecht. Grootste modelspoormanifestatie van Europa. Dit jaar waren wij ook weer van de partij. Zie ook : www.dutchhrca.nl en www.eurospoor.nl

Thanks, glad you liked it. It realy was great fun both playing and filming. The 4-4-0 BR Compound is a Bassett Lowke indeed.As you might have noticed I mainly run Hornby LNER and some BR. Hornby only made the Compound in the original red LMS version, as I consider it a very elegant type of locomotive, the Bassett Lowke BR version gave me the opportunity to own one anyway. She is not the only exception, there are also a BL 060 tender and a 060 tank in operation. All LNER.

You're welcome. Thank you for appreciating the videos, it was great fun making them and even greater fun playing with the trains.

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?

@@alistairkewish651 i have educated myself and also own quite the collection of lionel 3 rail trains

@@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.
