I got 2 train sets at home, both hornby, 1 is the High speed train, one is the country railway (just the description, can't remember the name). I bought those 2 sets when i was in Ireland for about 150 Euro (around RM800). never tried it fully but i know 1 model is not properly working. Came with tracks that if i'm not mistaken can grow to a very good design.

Problem is right now i don't have time or space to built it. The pic i saw is just the right picture that i imagine i want the model to be. Probably after i moved into my new house next few months i will have time and space.

oooh ... this reminds me of the Lego trainsets !!! those were fun to play with ... any average guy(with half an intelligence) can spend hours fiddling around while the train(s) ran around and around.

this hobby demand alot of space there, not juz $. the finished landscape and rail system are permanent and in one piece, rite?

i'm a train fan too.. tats why i opt for LEGO train. when free, built liao, enjoy, then dismantle de tracks to clear up space.

here's one of the railway I done last year (see how it took up half my room space!)

Here's a pic of my train and also some tracks that was not used, after detaching the model that I've built.
I was thinking of selling it since I needed money but now I have second thought because I like this train very much.


the long tracks are flexible track.

super cool train,arghh u need space 2 see em in action..rm300 is good price...how big is the scale eh?

those curve tracks doesn't seem to be curvy. wondering how much space it would take to make a 180 degree turn tracks.

For HO scale, if making a complete circle with the curve tracks, the diameter is like the width of a single bed (bed for 1 person).
If use the flex track, can make alot sharper curve.

sharper curve = easier for the train to derail lo hehe..

[COLOR=red]Guys,

You can pay a visit to MY TRAINS at PLAZA IDAMAN, GOMBAK, this building is not far away from ONG TAI KIM's building and very near to DANAU KOTA. Seller's contact no is 019 2610512, SMS him and he'll call you back. This shop sells model trains, die cast cars / helicopters / motorbikes and some TAMIYA mini 4WD. Theres a layout with two trains running on a 4X8 feet playwood.

Rgds.

I managed to assemble using almost all the tracks that I have so that it fits in my bedroom floor:

[COLOR=red]3AAA,

Nice layout but it will be better if you can place it on a plywood (size that fits your bed underneath) with four rollers, so that you can move it in and out just like a drawer, this will save you space and time assembling and disassembling it, but of course it wl be smaller than your existing layout.

[COLOR=red]Rgds.

good idea.
and if I place the tracks with nails on playwood, then can build some flyovers
