Review: Excellent - Excellent just what I needed Review: Useful way to isolate track - Used to isolate a section of track but you need the on off switch fitted to do this.

Only nag is the connection points stick out a little too much and make it tricky to conceal. ## Features - About Hornby: As the UK's leading model railway designer, Hornby have been thrilling model making enthusiasts for over 100 years.

There is a break in both rails. With a switch it is possible to send a locomotive beyond the break, and then turn the switch off, isolating that part of the track. The rest of the track could then be used with another locomotive. It is often used in a siding to accomodate more than 1 locomotive. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by R***D on 10 April 2025* Excellent just what I needed ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful way to isolate track *by D***S on 10 May 2023* Used to isolate a section of track but you need the on off switch fitted to do this.
