Demand loop
Marketplace and collections feed the works.
What people already run lives in My collection. What they buy and sell sits on the marketplace. Public candidate products carry a visible hurdle. When interest clears it, production is committed.
01
Collect
Layouts and collections describe what the hobby already runs.
02
Marketplace
Hornby, brand partners and collectors sell through one basket.
03
Commit
Make-to-interest tools only what demand will take.
Track plan catalogue
Sectioned like a plan booklet: train-set ovals, compact ovals, medium ovals. SVG drawings, not hotlinked archive plates.
From the train set
Starter ovals that ship with smaller Hornby sets, plus Extension Pack A (R8221).
Compact ovals
Hornby Track Plans Compact Oval tradition — station, passing loop, goods siding.
Medium ovals
Spare-room boards from the medium-sized oval 4/13 family.
Produce when demand is sufficient.
Five candidate products, one already past the hurdle.
Itemise a collection, then sell.
List a piece from My collection and it appears as a Collector stall.
