Launched in 1938 as the perfect table railway, I ‘ad that is a homage to the Hornby Dublo three rail system, which ceased production in 1964.
We have created a scenic layout that incorporates many original accessories and is sympathetic to the original designs, with some modern tweaks.
You may still have a three rail train set stored away in your loft.
-or you may just recall… “I ‘ad that!”

Please be aware that we regard the layout as a train set and not a model railway, therefore the following rules apply:-
- No scale speed – if trains are running slowly it means we’ve had too many derailments
- No timetables
- No rivet counting
- No bells
- We run whatever stock combinations we like!
