Superb video. Don’t underestimate how offputting the carpentry part of building a model railway is to a family with no one suitable to help with it. Although Hornby doesn’t sell baseboards explaining how this works is really important to helping new people into the hobby. See also - circuitry.
Half inch ply? In my local UK timber merchant this would be sold as 2440 x 1220 x 12mm which you cut down to 1830 x 1220mm. There seem to be different types of ply available, would hardwood ply be best?
A six by four and a half inch sheet of ply? You sure about that chaps? I think you meant a six by four foot sheet of half inch ply. Otherwise the baseboard will be shorter than an R600 Single Straight.

@hornby any reason why the Hornby forum has gone from your website and any reason why you only sent me the hornby club loco and not my membership card etc ?
It is disappointing that Hornby are still using imperial measurements. We have been metric since 1965! I reckon most folk have never used feet and inches. Come on Hornby we are in the 21st century.

you might want some cross bracing there. The twist on that thing is mental!!
Very good video with clear instructions.Well done.
Really clear and easy to follow, thank you!

just what I was wondering since the UK has been METRIC now since before I was at school. I don't do imperial units.
That's great. If I wanted to build 4x8, can I make it the same, just with an extra support beam?
How much did this cost for you and where is the best place to buy the stuff

All materials are sold in metric sizes these days.
And most people under the age of 50 were taught to measure in the metric system of measurements
@@bentullett6068 I'd say it was under 65. They were just about to stop teaching Imperial measurements when I left school in 1970.
@@Poliss95 I thought it was later than that as I know loads of people including my dad who is in his 50's who still use imperial units of measure.

Thank you Mr Hornby, but it's on fire, what do I do?
Metric please, Mike. Your target audience will be using millimeters. Otherwise great video
Yes some of the younger generation under 50 were taught to use Metric measurements
No thanks imperial is easier to use
There’s a typo at around 0:32.
