Very interesting video I’m starting to build my layout 👍🏻
Thank you, good luck with your layout. If you have any question I do a live on Thursday evenings you can pop in and ask in the chat.
Keep it simple...great video...
Thank you David
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
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
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.
Great to have you here. Pop in and say hello on the Thursday evening live streams.
Thanks for the vid.. I’m a total newb to this, I’m making a set up to go under/around the Christmas tree but I’m already getting hooked 😂
Careful now its addictive 😅
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. 😆
Hello from Tyrone! This video is excellent in its simplicity and relays the information in terms easily understandable to a beginner. Well done.
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Thanks. Just about to get a set for my grandsons so lots of fun Xmas day for us.
Excellent, have fun. Enjoy the time with them.
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.
Thanks Sparky have been subbed to you for a while now. Love the chats
Great video.. Thanks for sharing.. 👍😎👍
Thank you Nick
Excellent video thanks for sharing
Thank you Dafydd
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.
Great tutorial, I've subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Donegal Dad the pleasures mine..please return my support
Beautiful
Thank you
You erend yourself a sub 👍
Thank you very much.
what size is the board as i can only buy 8x4
Its 6x4 cut down from a 8x4
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
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.
Take a train from the company marklin there are the best trains
Marklin do make some good stuff, but are mainly continental models.
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.
New sub
Thank you
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.
Thanks for the video. I have the Flying Scotsman set, recently purchased. It came with Track Pack A (which is the same as yours; oval track with point and siding track). How come when I switch the point to have the loco go onto the siding track, there’s no power at all/the entire track short circuits? As it stands, the only way I can get the train into the siding track is to have the power off, point switched to siding track, then push it along with my hand manually. This can’t be right haha. I’m missing something. Thanks!
Thanks straddlemyvarius glad you liked it. With an oval with a siding you need to have the power before the siding. So when you switch the point the power travels up the switch blades.
@@DonegalDadRail thanks! I did have the power track just before the point track. The problem of no-power or shorting only occurs when it’s attached to the whole oval. If I isolate this point track and detach it from the oval, I can switch the point to have the loco go straight or onto the siding track and power works fine either way. It’s doing my head in 😅
Would I need insulated rail joiners somewhere, or those electric joiners that look like staples? Pardon my ignorance
@@straddlemyvarius Shouldn't need insulated joiners the other joiners are you talking about the wire that clips into the points if so they are for DCC only. If you are on Facebook sent me a picture of the setup. Just lookup Donegal Dad on Facebook
@@DonegalDadRail thanks for all your time and help. I didn’t have any insulated rail joiners but I think that’s the solution. Just one required, swapping a metal fish plate out for a plastic one. I improvised and broke the electronic connection on the one rail I suspected was the culprit by jamming a piece of rubber between the fish plate and the rail. It worked!
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
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.
To quickly drive slowerly
👍
to quiet
Have got a new microphone since then so sound should improve on later videos
