Just found you. Greetings from The Kingdom. Just sealing my baseboard today....After 40+ years of dithering. Mostly 70's stuff, earliest being a train set for my fifth Christmas ('74). 8 old Lima and Hornby locos. All Lima pancakes just disassembled, cleaned and still running fine. A new Bachmann 37 and some replacement rolling stock for the stuff I wrecked as a kid. Great to have found your channel.
That little contraption to get it on the track makes it look easy wish I had one instead of laying my head down on a board getting it on the track then finding fake grass in my hair later
That’s me! Wanted a train this year finally for the tree, then decided let’s do it properly and I can already see how it’s addictive! I’m no longer sure it’s for the tree but I’m sticking to that. 😆
very nice video to help out the beginners of the hobby. well done sir. I started following you because of FMR did a video making it easy to find other channels.
Glad I found your channel as I'm thinking of getting back into the hobby. But man the prices today are crazy!! Luckily I still have alot of my old sets but you know yourself there's always something you'd like lol. Great video and new sub here..👍
Welcome aboard! get stuck back in, start with what you have and you can add from there. There is a great second hand market out there. It doesn't always have to be new.
For DC no you need a power controller for each circuit/Loco. If DCC one controller. This video will explain DC/DCC if you are not sure of the difference. ua-cam.com/video/8OyCkadB22s/v-deo.html
Last year I had the Santa express set (my first!, and I’m 50!), and this year my wife’s going to get me the Christmas Coca Cola set. Will the smaller set run inside the coke one??,cheers.
On the back of the curved track there will be a R number should be R605, R607 or R609. I think the Coca Cola set comes with R609 if your other set is R605 or R607 it will fit inside. See www.hornby.com/media/pdf/Track-Geometry-PDF.pdf
I don't know much about N scale. First decide DC or DCC and have a look to see what is available. If you have any model stores or model clubs near you may be able to advise you better.

Its called a re-railer, you can get them in most model shops or they come with some of the newer Hornby sets
okay thanks for telling me I may need to get one then

You erend yourself a sub 👍
Thank you very much.
New sub
Thank you
Will that 1 power connection power all 3 circuits?
For DC no you need a power controller for each circuit/Loco. If DCC one controller. This video will explain DC/DCC if you are not sure of the difference. ua-cam.com/video/8OyCkadB22s/v-deo.html
what size is the board as i can only buy 8x4
Its 6x4 cut down from a 8x4

Just checked the Hornby website it says the Coca Cola set comes with First Radius which is R605 so it depends on what your other track is.
What’s the best n scale train set to start off with? I run ho but I want to get into n scale and I want a good n scale train set
I don't know much about N scale. First decide DC or DCC and have a look to see what is available. If you have any model stores or model clubs near you may be able to advise you better.
Is that a 4x8 layout
That is a 6x4 baseboard, You can see more of the finished layout in this video ua-cam.com/video/gucfVrgti4c/v-deo.html Thanks for watching.
The reopening of the Western Rail Corridor would bring back trains into Donegal and Bordering counties.
👍
@@DonegalDadRail A bid to cut down on 1) Pollution, 2) Car Accidents/Road Deaths & 3) Pollution of course need a television programme about it thanks.
4 rails would be better then you can run 4 locos and 2 controllers 0-4-0 and at a push you can run 4 0-6-0 locos
Pushed for space and want to make it simple for my Daughters first layout
Take a train from the company marklin there are the best trains
Marklin do make some good stuff, but are mainly continental models.
To quickly drive slowerly
👍
to quiet
Have got a new microphone since then so sound should improve on later videos
