Nice to see someone who seems so excited and happy about modelling while making a video! It's something not often seen these days.
It seems more about showing off than actual useful information with a lot of videos on model trains. This is good 👍
daniel sonhud which show off do you mean
Putting together a wee layout for my grandson, with the Hornby Highland Rambler kit to start, and this is far and away the best guide to what you do with the extra track packs after that. Good stuff - many thanks!
Wonderfull video, strait to the point no fluff about unboxing and staring at a box for 20 mins without opening, thanks for a great video
No filler straight to the point
Thanks so much, my son and I were stuck until we watched this and realized we tried to build the whole thing without the starter oval 👍
Thanks for the easy-to-follow video, as someone mentioned, thanks for not doing the opening-the-box stuff, staring at it and talking out nothing. You have made it a pleasure to watch, easy to understand for someone like me, a new train set enthusiast, gathering all the extra packs, its exciting. Thanks a million. 😊😊👍👍🚂
This really helped me, I have a spare room in my house and I love house set ups so I turned it into a model railway. Love it mate
Just goes to show. You only need a simple layout to have fun.
Detailed layouts are nice but the good old fashioned train set is always a winner.
Great video thanks, I've got all of this to put together for my sons first Hornby Christmas :D thanks again
Fantastic!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do the video. I purchased The Flying Scotsman train set with expansion pack B and C. The instructions for doing the link power to the inner circle is very poor I was sitting it under the track :-( . One stressed 7 year old and one stressed mum I found your video and within a few minutes I had it up and running. :-) Thank you x
Lynda Mackin same with me my mum and dad :)
Lynda Mackin I hate you and your son
@@lbscthomas70gaming3 jesus christ man what was that for??
I love this video I don’t know why it’s just fun to watch and Hornby is cool
great video , i have just purchased a starter set to build my first layout with the packs you have used here. i plan to get packs E & F next week with any luck. Starting off small with the hope of adding more in the future.... many thanks
Great video mate. I had a similar layout to this when I started off into building my first model railway layout many years ago.
Looks great - needs that 3d look with buildings and vehicles and some figures to bring it to life
Thanks friend, useful. I used this vid to get the link wire setup and working on my track.
Thanks, glad you found the video useful!
Excellent video. It is a massive help to my introduction to the hobby.
thanks this video has inspired me with all this simple stuff to start simple to now im FINNALY going to take off my old engines off the shelf and save up for a track pack and set.
Thanks for sharing this video with all this great information and interesting tips
Glad I got taught how to run 3 rail, great for teaching kids about electrical currents, building rings/loops and switchboards
You done the right thing to do the track mat packs we all have to start somewhere grate video keep going well done 👍
I personally started with the Caledonian Carrier set - and have completed the track-mat and more
I would get insulated rail joiners so as to run more than one train. one on inner and one outer
Informative video and simple to follow...great ideas here
I've been looking for a video like this for 4 months and now I found
Really enjoy your vids! Keep it up😎
Thank you! I'm glad you like this video! I thought it would be a good idea to just go through the entire starter tack mat layout in order!
for the track layout you have below the track pieces, this layout is complete. however it is not really competed. you still have expansions E and F to add to it and then it will be complete.
I like the way you talk, it comforts me.
Thanks for teaching me what a wire link assembly was
Really helpful since I’m planning to build off the Hornby track mat for my model Railway.
Great! I'm glad the video was useful for you! Good luck with your layout!
Thanks for showing me how to connect
the tracks and I have the Flying Scotsman (:
Thanks mate
Great video I'm in the process of putting together a layout this is very helpful.
Great start to model railways
Great work of completing the hornby basic track mat
Very lovely 👍
Excellent video
Very useful to an old beginner!
Thank you
Glad you liked the video!
Looks good and I love trains
Thanks, I am really pleased with my current layout... but the real work is about to begin with things like the hillside/tunnel!
The first lay out is still amazing. I love the set you have though
I really envy you. I have a starter similar to yours, but minus the inclusion of track expansion A. I would love to complete my layout just as you have
hi I started off with the east coast Pullman dcc fitted set.i added all the extra extension packs and completed the layout.i then removed a buffer added extra baseboard and added an extra two oval loops.
Thanks for the great video Dan. I have all the Hornby track & scenery packs but sadly no space to build it. One of these days I will find room.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video!
Haha yes, these layouts take up a surprising amount of room, especially when you live in a 1 bedroomed place like me!!
Great I'm just starting so this is perfect 😋
Great Dan. You were right about the track mat settling down over time.
Are you going to replace that at some point and decorate the layout with cork balast and immitation grass and such?
I really love watching your videos and love the simple life you lead. I have been doing the same and debt free since leaving the UK in 1999 for Canada ( though I moved last year and now live in Austria).
Hello! Firstly thanks, I am glad you like my videos! As for my layout, yes, I have now got it set up on a grass mat with foam ballast! Loads more stuff to do though!

Very nice layout and very useful video how to setup thank you
Loved seeing this, looking to get into Hornby trains!
Even though I don’t have any Hornby I can just imagine how excited I would be if I completed the layout
I have a problem
I have assembled pack C with the power clips but when I try to switch the train from the outer to inner loop it short circuits
I think the Track May is okay but the old version’s Yard And 3rd outer Line a better. The newer ones probably better every other but I’ll probably get some more track and make it bigger.
I'm surprised you don't have more views, the videos are so high quality! :D
Thanks! I am glad you think so!
great video. did you know that there is or was a track pack E and F
Your kit is very beautiful 😀
I will give this video a 10 out of 10 good work. keep up the awesome work!!!!!
Brilliant just what my husband needed.
love your cat
Gosh, the mind is boggling with all of this and our train stopped completely today but i feel much better prepared to tackle the additions of C and D after watching this. My 7 year old grandson has no patience but has absolutely loved trains since the age of 2 with the Brio sets. As I saw someone post earlier in the thread, You should offer track set ups, you could make a fortune! You make it look so easy :). Cork and ballast is the next thing to research, at least I have lot's of time on my hands at the moment as I run a Group Travel Company normally :) Just a quick question if I make a tunnel on the corner of this track on the outer edge will the RailRoad Car Transporter Bogie Wagon - R6423 from Hornby fit through it okay? I love the car transporter but don't want to encourage my grandson to spend hours making a papier mache tunnel if the train won't fit through without the transporter attached. Thanking you kindly, off you watch your other videos now and to subscribe if I can see where to do it. Emma :)
Very nice video , enjoyed the unboxing 👍🏻
Hi I love your videos
Thanks! Plenty more to come!
I'm using this track design for my layout!
nice!!! the great thing is that you can use it but still use loads of other stuff to make yours stand out!
How much would you say all of the track cost together, including controller and track hook up and such
Do you have a video of the turn out point with electric motor installation
Fantastic work mate took about 10 secs to get me subscibed :-)
Haha thanks! I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks for commenting over on my other one too!
Did you made any video about how to set up point director ?
You should have also added track pack E and F
I've returned to this, how do you do connect, same connections parallel to each track ?
Brand new to this lol, can you have two trains running on that as is?
hi there, I have the flying scotsman 2nd hand there are no instructions do you know how I can find out which track piece connects with which. I am not getting the arcs to follow the map very well and its very hard to see on the map layout where the connections go.
Great video
Hey another interest of mine I used too watch you when you had Tilley the long boat
Great demo video!
With this particular layout/wiring, can two trains be run at the same time on the two circuits? Or, are you just using the one controller for one train but with multiple routes?
Hi mate can you tell me the size of these trackmats? As I'm looking for one that's 8ft x 4ft thanks
How did you get the creases out of the mat
How do you get rid of the wrinkles from the mat being folded up?
I have had this problem more recently with some Warhammer kits that contain a folded paper mat, I have left the mat flat on a soft surface like a carpet and then weighed it down for a day or two with books placed over the fold lines!
Nice! You mentioned it but the simplicity, yet very well thought out expansion packs is striking. I see you have to throw the track switches manually though; is there any option for doing that electronically?
Yes, there is an entire digital and motorised version of everything... but as you can imagine... that starts to rattle the cost up very quickly!!
Amazing video
I subscribed
On my layout I want to have 3 running at once so 3 power clips to 3 corresponding controllers if I’m correct
Step one, buy hornby train, throw track away and buy peco track and come up with your own track plan.
The track mat is just the death of imagination.
Hey Does The Link Wire Come With Track Pack C ????????
Very informative I'm about to do the same. could you please tell me the cost of all Pack's please and what size board have you got. Thanks.
How large is the base board for this layout and could it be expanded upon?
Where do you buy that train set? You know, I'm number one fan! But, there's no train set like this sell in Malaysia.
I am still having trouble with the points ,cannot seem to get the train into the sidings .it is the Hornby Trakmat with added A B C D packs and two controllers need help Santa is coming .
T
Nice! Is it possible to put another train on it and run?
Awesome! Loved your canal videos :)
Could you run 2 locomotives on the layout?
Hi how big a table would I need for that set up please
Would post of all the r numbers and qty
How would this work with 2 trains on different tracks?
I'm American I love British railways tho so this helps me be cause I'm gonna build a layout with this track mat, I just need to ask how but is the base board for this.?
I live near lochgelly it’s in Scotland
Great to see your enthusiasm Dan - I think you're morphing into #RickVanMan ..... (which isn't a bad thing by the way :-)
Haha! thanks! Plenty more trains to come!
👍👍👍👍
Hi Dan - I have avariation of your seet up, running 2 controllers. I'm unable to isolate a train in the inner siding by flicking the point direction - any idea what I'm doing wrong
this was my first ever hornby train set i got at 5 years old i am also 8 years old
Love ur vids bro!
Keep it up :)
Would i need two separate DC controller's to control two separate train's on the Hornby track mat layout you built as i only want to use DC controller's only also would using points be a issue for me wanting for example the two train's to use any different part of the layout please helps me if you can kind regards from Jason
brilliant what size is this layout
How are Hornby trains different from Kato?
Grate videos
Hey my Track Pack C didn't come with a 2nd powering device. What should I do?
God what you going to do next,first it was boats,then writing and now modelling.whats next ??
After boats and trains, will you be moving onto planes?
Haha... I wish!!!
I did actually
Sort Of Interesting Trains so I got a Thomas starter pack with an oval and bought a point and a straight to add on to it, Thomas runs fine except on the point where he will slow down if you run him slow on it. I’m about to ballast the track so should I get a new point, or is it just Thomas and the point will run fine with larger engines?
Carson Lucado this is because points have a dead zone where no electricity can flow so Thomas momentarily has no power
Studyin'Me yeah I know that but will this happen with larger engines?
