Hornby Train Sets 2010
(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! |
| Yes - we do carry all the sets shown at In Stock actually In Stock. |
| Stock references on this page are adjusted daily, if it says "In Stock" we really have it! |

You have four choices: |
| Hornby & Bachmann OO Gauge Train Sets - Analogue (Standard) Sets | Our Price |
| 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. | |
| 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 Hornby
Digital Set Series Hornby R1125 Somerset Belle DIGITAL £109 The easy and effective way of entering the Digital World of model railways! The powerful 0-6-0 tank locomotive can make easy work of the three wagons included in this set. The Select control unit can have allocated to it up to 60 locomotives and 40 points or operating accessories and is therefore ideally suited to those who wish to build on this train set and gradually create a fully functioning layout. The MidiMat included with this set can certainly help with the development of a functioning model railway with extensions being made easy with the addition of extra track packs and building packs |

| The Hornby
Digital Set Series Hornby R1097 East Coast Pullman DIGITAL The ultimate in train sets! A large locomotive, three Pullman cars, a tank shunter plus wagons, add in the Hornby Digital Select Control Unit and you have more than a set, you have the makings of a really impressive model railway layout! The track configuration will allow the operator, using the Select digital unit, the ability to have the Pullman train running around the looped circuit while the tank locomotive can be busy shunting the wagons around either of the two sidings. Or course, there can also be interaction between the two trains with the locomotives double heading and pulling all the Pullman cars and wagons in one long train. This set includes a new design Hornby TrakMat. 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. |

| Graham Farish N Gauge Train Sets | Layout in box | Picture of the train included in the box | Our Price |
| A word about N Gauge: This is very, very small. We just sell the sets very cheaply compared to the RRP (we sell at approx 25% below the RRP shown on the www.grafar.co.uk site). We do not sell extra track, but this is widely available from model shops etc. | |||
| All sets come in a presentation box complete with an oval of track and a controller. Being small and therefore delicate, these are not suitable for children at all - ages 14+ only. | |||
