Hornby Train Sets 2013
(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! |

| 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 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 | |||

Bachmann Digital Starter
Set 2 £98 This set is manufactured by Bachmann. The track, train and controller are 100% compatible with the Hornby equivalents. This is an interesting new system which allows two trains to run simultaneously at different speeds on the same track! The set includes a digital controller and two complete small freight trains with wagons etc. Most DCC ready locos can be fitted with chips enabling them to run with this new system and further controllers are available if required. 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. |

The Hornby Digital Set Series Hornby R1125 Somerset Belle DIGITAL The easy and the most effective way of entering the Digital World of model railways. The powerful 0-6-0 tank locomotive is more than capable of handling the three wagons included in this set. The Select control unit can be allocated with up to 60 locomotives and 38 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 in this set can certainly help with this development with track extensions being made easy with the addition of extra track packs and building packs. 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. |

The Hornby Digital Set Series Hornby R1126 Mixed Freight DIGITAL You can really see the benefits of Digital Control once this set is assembled. Each of the two locomotives has a decoder factory fitted and are immediately ready for operation. Independent control is guaranteed for each loco even though they may both be on the same track. When the powerful diesel locomotive is coupled to the four wagons included with the set, the Class 08 diesel can then pull them round the circuit just stopping in front of the little 0-6-0 'Jinty'. The 'Jinty' can then be reversed carefully so that it couples to the front of the 08. Then by programming the engines to work in unison the double headed train can move off down the track. 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. |

Hornby R1160 The Cornishman
DIGITAL Train Set
£234 This lovely set features the heyday of the Pullman service, with "Kenilworth Castle" - a Castle Class loco serenely taking the Pullmans down to the West Country. The set features a double siding layout, the Hornby DCC Select digital controller, which you can program settings for 60 locos and up to 38 point motors or accessories - so you can expand without upgrading. In the box you also receive the Hornby Trakmat, onto which you can if you wish build a complete layout with buildings, simply by adding standard packs of track and buildings, all of which we carry in stock. 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 |

| 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. | |||
