Hornby

Old Smoky Passenger Set

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!

Goods Master Diesel Freight Set

This excellent starter set boasts a feisty little shunting locomotive which is more than capable of moving the assortment of wagons around the oval of track included with this set. The locomotive is based on a Class 06 locomotive which saw most of is working life in the shunting yards of Scotland. This set also includes a Hornby Midi TrakMat plus an oval of track.

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.

Flying Scotsman

The most famous locomotive and train in the World features in this high range Hornby train set. The striking LNER apple green liveried Class A1 "Flying Scotsman" helps to recreate those wonderful days of train travel in the 1930s when the two great rivals, London North Eastern Railway and the London, Midland and Scottish Railway vied for the lucrative passenger traffic between London and Scotland. Included with this set is the Hornby TrakMat which accommodates with ease the large oval of track and two sidings. The larger of the sidings which sits inside the oval can comfortably handle the full train when operations have finished for the day.

Local Freight Set

The romance of the railways in Britain was at its best when hundreds of minor cross country lines traversed the country. In those days drivers would have unscheduled stops along the line picking up or dropping of goods as they went from village to village. It is not surprising that these trains were often called the Local Freight. This set includes a Hornby Midi TrakMat and an oval of track

Devon Flyer

The romance of the railways in Britain was at its best when hundreds of minor cross country lines traversed the counties of Britain. In those days drivers on these rural routes such as those found in Devon would encounter unscheduled stops along the line picking up or dropping of goods as they went from village to village. These trains were often subjects of local humour and given nicknames similar to the Devon Flyer! This set includes a Hornby Midi TrakMat and an oval of track.

The Royal Scot

The awesome power of the full size Duchess locomotive is ably replicated by the model in the set which is powered by a 5 pole skew wound motor housed underneath the locomotives body, with the superb liveries on both the locomotive and the four coaches being representative of the period.The Royal Scot set includes a large oval of track with two sidings and a station which fits easily onto the Hornby TrakMat.

Eastern Valleys Express

The rural areas in the East of England benefited in the halcyon days of rail travel of being connected to the big cities by a network of small railways. The LNER could not use its heavy 'crack' Express trains on the'rural lines, opting instead for the more lightweight engines and coaches designed for such railways. These smaller trains which used the older rolling stock would offer a frequent stopping service as they travelled from village to village and town to town!
