I think your spot on. The peco points are much sturdier, expecially the switch. The electrofrog look much better as well and give better running and are cheaper than hornby ones. Especially when you come to express points. Hornbys have a large dead spot at the frog peco electrofrog for me every time

I still have mine from Xmas 1976. The locomotive never run that well, nobody could ever Fix it.

Glue is too thick mate!

I want to hear the rocket

Nice video, defect below main window, 2 white rings.

Hi nice work,can I ask how did you get the orange glow from your LEDs in the shed

the music is perfect

I’ve just bought one of these and it’s my first go at Metcalfe. Thanks for the great tips.

Just a suggestion for further interior details a set of firebuckets Shapways supply 3d printed tool bench and tools I enjoy the lighting demo

Thank you for the video it helps me with my recovery from my brain tumour and stroke as this helps me to get back to my modelling

There are many, many versions of this video, most of them great in their own way. But this one is unique (for me, at least) in having just music in the audio. The music sets the perfect mood. Awesome! It’s dramatic, but in a low-key way. As if to say: even after 54 years, this is sooo cool!

Nice build and with the addition of those lights it looks really good. I still struggle a little with the Metcalfe kits, not the construction of them but the flat non textural aspect of their walls and floors. But I am thinking of trying to do something about that as the kits are really good overall.

No longer. The Starship booster makes 16+M pounds of thrust.

What a correct wonderfull video. Thank you 💫

Thank you for this awesome video. You did a good job at explaining things. As a newbie to the hobby, I’m gonna go with DCC, and Hornby insul frogs.

Good video, many thanks, regards Charlie

I’m modelling my first small OO layout with my son, who is only 3 but he’s quite gentle. Even so, I thought the skaledale plastic buildings would be a more robust option for us. That is true but the realism is so poor I’m going with Metcalfe from now on, we will just have to be careful when using the layout.

As a newbie, this is far and away the best and above all, clearest explanation I’ve seen on this subject. Thank you very much !

Excellent ideas on how to hide the cables and positioning the LEDs. Really impressed with how you've built that.

Tha k you great video. A question. I'm just about to start a dcc layout what points would you recommend insul or electro.i have about five insul points.not sure the best way to go I am a complete novice. Thanks

lDaylight LED's, glue on small washers with 3mm holes, then paint, makes nice industrial lamp shade.

Did you have to take the motor out to get the cad under the motor

Looks a good set. and an ideal starter

Hi thanks for this vid went out and purchased a set, very convenient items when one has no room .Great job.

Saturn-5 - Germany Quality.

Excellent - thank you.

Thank you very much. This has been very helpful in helping me build my platform.

you are a good father

Thank you for the ‘tip’ on hiding the wiring for the L.E.D.’s

A superb pack.Do not worry in regard to the Locomotive and coaches not matching in colour.# The 5 non streamlined Coronations 6230-6234 were given a special livery of Crimson Lake with Vermillion and Gold lining and lettering.The LMS coaches were painted in the standard maroon with black and gold lining.

That image on the back reminds me of a RWS Tidmouth route on Trainz

Hi from Garth Close from South Africa 😄👌👀🚂Ho

Hi, very informative video, thanks. I'm slightly unsure about some items: I am setting up a DC layout. If I join the pairs of track as you suggested on my Peco electro-frog point, do I still need the insulated track connectors on both inner parts of the 'Y' on the points? Do I need to cut the small cables under the points or is that just for DCC track? What do I do with the extra cable that is connected to the frog? Cheers

Thanks, enjoyed all the videos. I am at exactly the same decision point (no pun intended :-)) as you reached in this video regarding incompatibility and trying to decide which controller to move up to. What did you decide?

Recommended to me after 9 years, wha-

Great video, but but I'd rather hear the rocket then that stupid music! I 😦

Awesome stuff! 👍

On the point about streamline points and track separation, I think you'll find that the track spacing comes out almost prototypical (well it does in N gauge). In OO/HO the prototypical gap between running lines (The 10 foot) should be about 46mm measured between the inside faces of adjacent rails.

Really enjoyed your video, I am in the process of changing my layout from hornby points to Peco and I am going down the route of electro frog but due to the number of points on my layout, just over 50, I think I might use a couple of double slips.

Will this be able to pull all ho scale rolling stock? For both US and foreign railroad equipment?

What an excellent video. A patient, calm and collected explanation of what and why. I saved this video for future reference. Thank you so much. Please know that your effort is sincerely appreciated.

Hi. Having watched your video I thought I would like to install an inspection pit to my layout using those small LEDs was just right. I'm really pleased with my end result. Thanks for sharing your video. 🚂🚃🚃🚃

How difficult is it to insert fishplates onto the track after putting in ballast?

With xuron is It possible to cut in diagonal ?

Excellent job, I will use one of these for my Cresswell station model, it’s not that far off the original, the only thing I will do differently is put tile strips on the roof.

Hello, very good video indeed. Can I use peco side mounted point motors rather than ones underneath the board with Electrofrog points? If so do I need to just fit plastic fish plates or do I need to cut the little wires underneath the point?
