A straight rectangular Hornby Series Countryside Section H, consisting of a long section of roadway lined on both sides with hedging, and including a gate on each side for access to neighbouring fields, and two trees.

Road H, Hornby Countryside Section


Design

The width of the roadway (with side-hedging) is the same distance as the length of a Hornby level crossing, so if an existing Hornby layout was extended with a crossing, the road section "H" would conveniently fill the extra gap, as well as providing a road to lead up to the crossing area.

Location

The section is on the front far left side of shelf four of the Hornby Wall display, where it can be seen more easily than the other countryside sections.
