Hi Wrenneire
Many thanks for the advice.
I had found a chart that gave the equivalent of track pieces for Hornby, Bachmann and Peco but for some reason, Lima is never mentioned.
I did some more digging following your advice and it seems that Lima is not flavour of month for any month. Indeed one commentator suggested that all Lima track should be binned. So, I have taken that advice - on this occasion I am using Hornby as I had plenty of that available.
Thanks again for the advice.
Sincerely,
Gerry
