Vintage Hornby Trains Gauge 0 Clockwork B1 Straight Rails – Boxed Set of 8 (Made in England by Meccano Ltd)
-
Description:
A fantastic find for collectors and vintage railway enthusiasts: this original Hornby Trains box of B1 straight rails was manufactured in England by Meccano Ltd and is designed for use with Gauge 0 (O gauge) clockwork train sets. Although the box originally housed one dozen rails, this set now includes 8 original straight track pieces, each with metal rails and black metal sleepers complete with fixed connecting plates.
-
These B1 straight rails were an essential part of the classic Hornby layout and are compatible with other vintage 0 gauge accessories from the same era. The tracks are sturdy and show minor signs of age-related use—typical for mid-20th-century railway items—but remain structurally sound and ideal for layout construction or display.
-
The bright red Hornby Trains box is original, clearly labelled:
> "Hornby Trains – One Dozen Straight Rails (with Connecting Plates) – B1 – Gauge 0 – Clockwork – Made in England by Meccano Limited"
-
The box is in fair vintage condition, showing edge wear, creasing, and small tears to the flaps—particularly at the ends—but it still retains its structural integrity. The internal compartment is intact and holds the eight rails securely, with space for four more should the buyer wish to complete the set.

Great item, was a glass jar with contents, well packaged, with a fragile label attached, arrived no problems. A near perfect example of a 50s/60s Hopkin and Williams chemical bottle. The postage was fair, the item was as described and a good value, especially with contents.
