Vintage Hornby 3 rail. Advice, perspective, commentary, please.

That’s what I thought. I said earlier I was pretty sure Hornby Dublo only made railway buildings.

Arrived today, going to need to extend the baseboard to fit.

Yup I have both the station platforms. One is huge, very long, and the other, a slimmed down version. Very solid.

And, to your experience, besides a few rail side structures in metal, nothing else is available in the British range in metal?

[yelrow]

Chops, hi. I have all the original HornbyDublo catalogue. I will dig it out and see what buildings there are, and come back to you. John

The Superquick card kits were around in Hornby Dublo 3-rail days, and apart fron two or three buildings, the range has not been altered since those days, so modellers can use Superquick if desired on a HD 3-rail layout.

MG, i think he wants metal accessories.

Crescent signals.

Yelrow, yes, thank you, that would be great to take a look-see.

Good to hear the Super Quick models are germane to the period of 59/60. The glossy, chunky metal structures is the particular look that I am after.

I have a Super Quick card stock kit drying limply upon the computer tower as we speak. It was remarkably Super Complicated, the directions Super Confusing, and the end result is Super Bad, so it is fortunate that it will occupy a Super Distant horizon. No criticism for the Super Quick, or card stock line, it's just that I am Super Inept. They are rather clever, and I do admire those modelers who so deftly get them to look like something!!!
