model railway beginner

Hi can anyone help?

I've just brought a hornby train engine and  Bachmann rails, power set etc
How do I connect the power clip to the rails?
Does it slot in at a specific place or does it just go anywhere on the tracks?

I am not too familiar with the connector and track sold in the UK, it will only work on a straight section of track, but otherwise I don't believe there are any restrictions as to where you place it so long as there us sufficient space between the ties.

Dear strawb63,

Hornby straight track has small slots between certain ties (across the pond - "sleepers") and the rails that the Hornby power connector can slip through.

There is an arrow molded into the bottom of the Hornby ties to help locate the slots.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
