One of the first things I was advised, if I intended to go further with this hobby, was to ditch any Hornby turnouts I had in favour of Peco turnouts.
The Peco ones certainly seem to work better, but they’re different radius to the Hornby ones so it did take a little adjusting.
I bought the Peco Electrofrog points (they have an E in the product code) and I’ll wire them up properly when I get a little further down the track.
I was told (and confirmed myself) that if you buy the track which is in the Hornby Track Kits (A thru F) as individual pieces of Peco track that it works out cheaper! Go figure!
