You're missing a book: "the art of hornby" which addresses the book of trains and catalogues from the earliest 0 onwards. Not only a good read technically, but is a very good insight into the whys and wherefores, the pluses and minuses and the thoughts behind catalogues layout and imagery. A very good video Barrie: it's nice to have a focus on the background things that add to the enjoyment. And just to add something in regard to your pleasure of the curved turnout geometry, I have in my possession a custom made crossing in standard gauge. Yes, it doesn't have moving parts, but it's just a glorious homebuilt construction. Being standard gauge it is of course 3 rail tinplate, but it's two curves that have been lain across each other, with the centre rail to suit, all spiked directly down onto a wood base. Seeing as standard was a modellers scale before 0 took its place it likely dates from the early to mid thirties when standard was still viable for layouts. Just when you eyeball it down it's length and see those sweeping curved rails 54mm apart, it really gives one an appreciation of that geometry

I enjoyed that. 16:28 left me wondering what the copper spring did - seemingly it enhances gravity pushing the lighter plastic hook down.

Hi Barrie, Just checked the price of these books and the only one I could find for volume 2 is over £100.00. Volume 3 is over £200.00. Barrie you do not need electric to run trains. There is always clockwork.

Barrie, I thought the last item would of been your Wife, but I do agree with your choice.

A very entertaining video. I still have a few of those LMS coaches, although the roofs have curled up. I keep think I should offer them to Oscar Paisley, as he seems to do wonders with old Triang stock.
