Can you help Ann?

Ann says that it is her son that is into model trains and that he has an old Hornby set that was past onto him from his Grandfather.

Ann's father has just given him some track that he has had for a long time, and we wondered if it is worth restoring it and if we can collect anymore tracks and parts for it - I dont know if you can identify it for me, i will attached the pictures of it just in case.

Here are the pictures






One piece has a stamped mark on it "trade mark GERMANY" and all the other pieces have a stamp that just says "GB PATENT.

Any ideas?

thanks ANN

Javelin train on 140mph test-run and Pre Production Video of Soon To Be Released Model

Guests on a test-run of the "Javelin" - Britain's fastest commuter train with a 140mph (225km/h) top speed - have been whisked from London to Kent and back.

The Hitachi train took 30 minutes to travel from St Pancras station to Ashford at an average speed of 114mph. The return journey took 29 minutes.

Southeastern will begin a limited high-speed service on the line on 29 June with a full service from 13 December.

The Japanese-built trains will reduce journey times by up to 43 minutes.



Hornby will be producing a version of the Javelin and here is a video of what their pre production sample looks like.
