Hello everyone, glad to finally be here.
I have wanted a Hornby train set since I was a child, and now I have the means to finally invest some time and money, I’m lost at where to start. I have recently begun to board my loft space, as it’s something I’ve long wanted to do, and realised I would have enough space to assemble some track, and later on, some landscape.
I have begun to watch beginner videos and how to get started, but I have to admit that I feel a bit overwhelmed with where to start.
My plan was to start with a starter set, more specifically the R1271M iTraveller 6000 set, because it comes with the HM 6000 which I really like the look of.
I have come here to ask the experts what are a few of the do's and don’ts when starting out? It feels like this is a hobby where the sky is the limit in terms of how much you can spend, both in time and money, and how much space you can use.
I really like the look of the DDC, but is this for more advanced users, or is it something you can use from the start?
The RailMaster seems like something for large scale setups with multiple trains and connections, so is this something I should avoid until I’m more comfortable with how everything works?
I did try to keep this short, but there is so much I’d like to ask. For now, I’ll leave it here. If you have read all the way to this point, thank you, you’re a real trooper.
Thanks all.

This got here fast! Only ordered it a couple of days ago. Was quite expensive for what it is, but it’s very well made I really like the look of it.
