“As an absolute first starter,the basic layout I’m trying to operate uses modern Hornby track. However, the locos are all 60s-early 70s Triang. When I fix 2 Hornby r8201 connectors from the main line to the siding track the locos run for a few secs then become inoperative. I’m concerned I may damage them. What causes this and how do I fix it?”

It might be a short circuit. If you are able to reply to this with a diagram of your layout(draw then photograph or scan it and upload), where the locos stop and where the connecters are located, I can offer more advice. I assume your layout is DC and not DCC. I run a mixture of old triang and other brands on DC with no problems.
