Hornby Dublo 3 rail layout - A different perspective!

Hornby Dublo 3 rail train set - A different perspective!

[@grandadslittletrainstories3644]

Thanks for your kind comment. Yes indeed speed control is a near impossibility with the old trains and track and the only hope on a relatively long track like mine is multiple power rails attached to the same circuit. The truth is that my ancient Hornby Dublo 3 rail would never be a serious modellers choice - it doesn’t even look “realistic” let alone permit proper speed control. However one must remember that it was designed to be “The perfect table top railway”, very much aimed at the son and father market back in the 40’s and 50’s and not for serious modelling. What is remarkable to me is that both the track and rolling stock (all metal and no plastic) are still going strong over 70 years later! A real credit to the manufacturers 😀
