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

Painting the backdrop behind the river scene: Part 12

This is dipping into another series of videos by The Bige61 on Youtube.

"Part 12. This is series where I paint the backdrop behind the river scene. In this part I continue painting the mountains on the backdrop.

Music Notes: The music on this video was recorded using Sonar Home Studio Ver 6.0. The drums and keyboards were played on an M-Audio Keystation 61 ES and/or sequenced in the MIDI Editor. The bass used is an YaMaha 270F Fretless with Dimarzio Pickups. "
