The Flying Scotsman – Hornby Dublo Train Set

November 14th, 2009 Hamish Leave a comment Go to 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:

Technical Details

  • OO gauge
  • Space required 1575mm x 1143mm
  • 1 steam loco plus 3 coaches
  • Extended oval with two sidings and a buffer stop
  • DCC (digital) ready
