old track
Hi all,
I have a lot of old Hornby nickel silver track and points with motors attached. If this stuff no longer viable and should I just dump it.

Re: old track
It all depends on condition. Certainly, if it were steel then the bin would be the best option.

Re: old track
Thanks Steve, it's the track that is painted silver so it does look like a trip to the dump.

Re: old track
Never dump old track as it has so many uses.
This little waggons frame was made using rail from old 00 gauge track...
These point levers were also made from old 00 gauge rails...
Plenty of uses...

Re: old track
I agree with Mountain Goat. Even if there's no immediately apparent application for old track, don't just throw it away. Stick it in a box and stash it on the shelf somewhere, coz no sooner have you parted with it, you'll wish you hadn't.
Neat lever frame, MG. Are all your points (and, I suppose, signals) operated in this way?
Cheers,
Artur

Re: old track
They will be if all goes to plan. I will need to make a few more levers and some signals.

Re: old track
Such a task would be a bit daunting on my layout, MG. Have you made jigs etc to aid mass-production?
Cheers.

Re: old track
Not really. I maybe able to post some pictures of how I made the point levers... I have them on my other tablet.
