The Flying Scotsman – Hornby Dublo Train Set

November 14th, 2009 Hamish No comments

The Flying Scotsman is, probably, the most famous steam engine in the world. It travelled between London (King’s Cross) and Edinburgh (Waverley) and featured a special tunnel through the coal tender between the engine and the coaches so that the crews could change over without the need for the train to stop.

This allowed for a non-stop service between the two capital cities and the journey time was reduced from eight and a half hours to seven hours and twenty minutes.

 This Hornby set includes the Starter Oval track plus extension Track Packs A and B, which provides a layout with two sidings. If you want to enlarge the circuit you can add extra Track Packs later. It’s a great introduction to model railways and any youngster will have hours of fun with it.

Here’s what you get:
