Hornby Train Sets 2009
(also Bachmann and Graham Farish Train Sets)
We carry one of the widest selections of model train sets in the United Kingdom |
|
|
All Hornby Train Sets include track, controller,
transformer, trakmat (excluding the "Boxed Set" series) and train. We do not
consider any Hornby Train Set to be suitable for under 5's. We recommend
ages 8+ as a minimum for all large Steam locomotive Hornby Train Sets (Flying Scotsman, Harry
Potter etc) as they are fiddly to fit onto the track. All suggested
layouts are ideally nailed down onto a 6 foot by 4 foot board - we recommend
half inch Chipboard. Bachmann sets are basically the same as their Hornby
equivalents but do not include the Trakmat - the track, controllers, trains and
so on are completely Hornby compatible! |

| A word about BACHMANN: Bachmann sets are completely track, power supply and coupling compatible with Hornby sets, you can mix the two brands of track (in fact, under some lights you can even see the word HORNBY on the back of the Bachmann track!) and the locos/wagons on the Bachmann sets are all full detail. As a result these sets are excellent value when compared with the equivalent Hornby, so make just as good a starter set and are ideal to add to an existing Hornby layout. | |

It can be argued that in the 1920s and 30s the British railways network was in its heyday. Small locomotives were used with some of the railway companies more mature rolling stock on small branch lines and because of their age and in some cases dishevelled appearance, it is more than likely that at least one of these trains would have been nick named “Old Smoky”! The track circuit can be extended to fit the Midi Mat included with the addition of Hornby Track and Accessory Packs. Good value for a passenger set with two full size coaches. |

R1071 Eurostar £125 Nothing can beat the performance and sheer awesome elegance of the 300kph Eurostar train as it cuts through the Kent countryside heading for the Channel Tunnel and then on from there to Paris or Brussels. The stunning Hornby train set features a Power driving unit, dummy driving unit and two passenger saloons. The models include flush glazing, detailed roof panels and simulated pantographs. The Eurostar is certainly not out of place as it powers around the large oval of track included in the set which also incorporates two sidings with the inside siding offering a place for the Eurostar to be stationed “overnight”! The track circuit sits easily on the 6’ x 4’ TrakMat and by adding Hornby Track Packs and Accessories Packs can soon be developed into a very effective model railway layout. |

| DIGITAL Hornby & Bachmann OO Gauge Train Sets | Our Price | ||
|
Digital sets allow you to run
multiple locos at the same time on the same track, all from one
controller. The locos receive a signal from the controller (via the
track) which tells them what speed to move at and in what direction.
The result of this is that you can run multiple locos at different speeds
on the same rail! Bachmann and Hornby systems both adhere to the DCC standard - this means that the Bachmann controller will run trains fitted with Hornby DCC chips and vice-versa. Track is identical in both makes of sets. The Bachmann controller is slightly simpler in operation as it only allows for 9 locos to be used at any one time (the Hornby one allows for many more - although how many you'd actually want to use is open to debate! |
|||
| IMPORTANT BEFORE PURCHASE: Digital sets require digital locos - standard locos or those marked "DCC ready" are not able to run until a chip has been fitted. On "DCC Ready" locos, it's a case of plugging the chip in, on others you have to modify the loco and solder the chip in. Chips from both brands (interchangeable) are under £10. Chip stock is at the end of our Power and Control page | |||

The track is identical to the Starter Oval plus extension R8010 Track Pack A to provide a siding. Extend the layout with extra R8016 Track Packs B and on (or loose track) as time goes by. |

Digital Set Series Hornby R1076 Virgin Pendalino DIGITAL This stunning 4 car Pendolino set is representative of Virgin Trains latest “state of the art” passenger rolling stock. The new Hornby 4 car model is ready to use straight out of the box.The large oval with two sidings ensures that there is plenty of track for the Pendolino to show off its accurate tilting mechanism especially when the train travels at speed around the bends. Each drive unit has lights that illuminate in the direction of travel but can, using the Hornby DCC Unit be independently switched on or off even when the train is in motion! Additional coaches are available so that a full train can be created. The TrakMat included can by adding Hornby Track and Accessory Packs be built up in stages into a fully functioning model railway layout. And with the addition of more locomotives and rolling stock the Hornby DCC unit really does make controlling the trains on all parts of the track incredibly straightforward. NOTE: This is Hornby's new Digital System which allows more control to the loco, and allows multiple locos to run at the same time on the same line of track. Standard locos must be converted with a chip before using them on this set. Uses the "Thomas" extension packs. |
