Default Re: Hornby O-gauge track

Hi
Elephanthide was the normal material used on Hornby 3 rail O Gauge Track. I have taken both the 3 rail electric and 2 rail clockwork track apart and had it replated and then assembled the 3 rail track with new Elephanthode strips.

This has been very successful and the insulation held up at 240v when running my Hornby High Voltage Metropolitan Locomotive with its resistance controller and 60w light bulb!!!

Trevor.
