just seen this while researching for a possible 'MINORIES' of my own. Excellent presentation, love the Hornby Dublo!!

I always thought you had to get a table but this thing runs smoothly on the carpet looks awesome 👍

Great little layout, full of interest.

Fantastic video of quality, nostalgic models. Much appreciated, thank you!

The charm and grace of Hornby Dublo, I love the Gresley coaches, even the mirror effect window can be surprisingly realistic when caught at the right angle.

Just as Frank Hornby intended! Thanks for sharing. Happy Christmas and a Safe modelling New Year.

35p ( 7 shillings) for a bottle of wine!

Yes. Those were my Christmas and Birthday presents as a boy.

What a Lovely collection of books & Locos you've got there - A good running Session - I've got the newer Version of the Hornby Dublo Trainset!!! 🙂🚂🚂🚂

My 80054 complete with 3 goods and a circle of track was my Christmas present in the early 50s. My 80054 is less than 3 ft from me as I type, but in a display cabinet. Not sure if it could manage 8 coaches as per this video. Plenty of track in the loft, hmmmm shall I give it a try?? Thanks for the memories. Not much 3 rail about these days.

Brings back childhood memories.Many thanks,and a happy Christmas.

80054 with a set of eight coaches impressive and 69567 every boys starter set.

Good to see three rail Hornby Dublo still running - great examples - Have a Merry Xmas & New Year !

Most delightful may l wish you and your family a healthy and safe Christmas.

Nice. I just picked-up Cardiff Castle!

Got to be a joke about tunnels I here somewhere

Excellent!

Better than any Christmas market thank you so much, Have a safe Christmas.

My father Peter played this since when he was a kid and he showed me how to set up.

Very beautiful 🤩

Marvellous, what a tip top layout, very nice. A merry Christmas to all.

Nothing better than a classic layout, with vintage locomotives and rolling stock to make you feel festive. Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 👍

The Track Looks Like Lionel Three Rail Track Here In The United States And Canada.

At least with 3 rail on the carpet there is some protection against fluff finding its way into the mechanism! Nice video.

Reminds be of being a kid and having to pack it all away before bed time, so I never got the most out of it, now things are a little different 😉👍

Lovely….Imaginative. Still the best train/trainsets around. Made in England. Now there’s something. 🚂🚂

Well done. So many good memories brought back. Happy Christmas.

I remember one year in the late 50s my dad bought me a hornby goods train set and my grandad and grandma bought me a hornby passenger train set, that set was the brittania class 7000 engine with pullman cars,

Great Video Clive

Brings back memories of my childhood.Many Thanks.

Great stuff! And from a time when a Hornby train set gave you an authentic loco hauling authentic carriages and wagons that you would see on the real railway! Unlike the tat they produce now with fictitious 0-4-0s in their umpteenth different made-up livery pulling unrealistic generic rolling stock.

Thank you for that relaxing 5 minute interlude.

Gorgeous. 7013 is my favourite even if she's the least powerful of all my 3 rail express locomotives (46245 converted to 3-rail with a Marklin skate is an absolute MONSTER). Mind you 7013 is sulking a bit at the moment since I converted Lima class 52 "Western Gladiator" to 3-rail 😢. Love them both ! But there's something very special about Hornby Dublo...❤ My theory is that it's because when they were released, the prototypes were still operational (Or in the case of the 4MT 2-6-4T still being delivered!). Dublo captured the spirit of that and for me that's what makes them special !

Thanks for the video!

What a treat: especially the blue Gresley and the teak coaches. Beautifully filmed. Thank you.

Looks like a good way to spend sn afternoon

Always a joy to watch your videos!

I had Hornby Dublo railway when I was a young boy in the late 1950s / early 60s. Started off with a 2-6-4T and some coaches. We kind of knew that the 3-rail tinplate track was hopelessly unrealistic but accepted it and enjoyed running the trains. There was a hardware shop known as Batesons in the nearby town of Rochdale. It was an Aladin's cave well stocked with Hornby Dublo and the staff all wore those long, iconic brown overalls. I would get the bus into town and spend my carefully saved pocket money there. Looking back the remarkable thing is that I was able to undertake the 2/3 miles bus journey on my own. There was never any suggestion of a threat to my safety.

Mandolin!

Interesting to see there was an oddball running round the Hornby Dublo 3 rail layout in the form of a streamlined A4 painted in grey, maybe a pre war leftover that have been re-livery by Hornby?

Katie Hill, absolutely gorgeous woman.

I was born in 1950 and my Dad used to drive past Selfridges in London at Christmas to show me the figures outside as in the film. I also has a Hornby Dublo Railway

It was a cock in a frock and nobody noticed…I feel sick to my stomach…it really is All of em. Please wake up folks.🤮

Minories, the plan in the Peco 60 plans for small railways booklet by Cyril Freezer. I pawed over it for hours as a young teen in the sixties, never got round to attempting it, was that realy all those years ago. Now I have the spare time, the money even the space but these old hands and eyes aren't up to it! Time passes by so quickly, make the most of it.

Hornby trains? Nope never saw any in this video!

That's not a very safe place to fit a knife rack ( on the edge of a kitchen worktop where a young child could've easily got to it ). My Dad who grew up in the 50's had a Hornby Dublo Railway Set.

Isn't it funny how in those times those who could afford it played with those toys whereas to day many would be collectors items costing ten times what they cost originally.

Ipswich had a store called Cowells and on the run up to christmas the whole ground floor was a wonderland .A big Meccano display and a huge Hornby railway layout . i can still picture it now and i`m 71 and still play trains ...👍👍😂😂

Enough to make anyone hornby 😂

Blue people,ther was always subtle consumerism drip fed to kids
