Thanks for the heads up. That's a good deal and I was able to buy one for £22 plus postage. It will be something to run with my Hatton's Warwell!

I've been in touch with the seller. As usual, they don't know anything about model railways. They guessed at N gauge but told me the rails were 15mm apart. Having guessed at N, they copied the flexitrack description from the Peco website, word for word, including the length, even though they don't know if it's Peco or not. I gently suggested their pricing might be a little bit 'ambitious ' . Haven't heard any more from them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
