Too Tall, thanks for the info, I meant to say I love your layout, very impressive. Yes I was thinking of going with the Hornby HM7000 system, quick question, for example the TT1002TXSM The Easterner Train Set - Digital (Sound Fitted), is that fully functional with the HM7000 system or is it sound on...

Hi, I am not sure on location yet as we have decided to move house, so will just get a set to start with until we have moved and then will know more on available space, I am hoping on maybe a single garage size layout so will open up a whole new world :-). Peco, I think that seems to be the track to...

Great thanks, I will have a look at those changes later, I will have to upgrade from the free version as run out of track :-) I left the space by the building maybe for other buildings/car park/road, all possibilities just need to get my head around to what I want, getting the right mix of track and...

For me OO is just to big for the space I have, although it has a huge amount of stuff available. For now TT...

So had a visit to a model shop today and had a look at OO, TT120 and N gauge. My conclusion is TT120 is just the right size f...

thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Lots of decisions to make and so many choices (in a good way), first stop a visit to a local model shop, then work out how much space I will have available (probably 8' x 4'). The modelling side is a big aspect for me as well, really looking forward to creating ...

Hi, I am new to the world of model railways, it's something I have had an outside interest in for a long time, but haven't really had the time (due to my main hobby) but have now got a bit more free time, so decided it's now or never. Having started to have a look what's available, all I can say is ...
