    Hello from NY

    Bob, I'm using H0. I can see the advantages of N, as you can do so much more in a restricted space. Do you have some idea of what you would like to build? Andy

    Anyone else collect British/Hornby?

    I no longer have any Hornby equipment, but I do have a small amount of Fleischmann and Lima rolling stock. From what I can see in your photos, the quality of Hornby seems to have increased considerably in the last twenty years. I have a vague plan to build a small layout based on the ex-GWR...
