Review: Fantastic set for 10+; Buy A Model Railway Book Too! - I bought the Flying Scotsman train set in 2016 or so, the regular version. Only difference was the box was the regular Hornby red, and it didn't come with a railing piece. Oh and the engine didnt have a sprung front bogie, so that's another plus. • The loco is heavy! Seems to have a good bit of diecast metal. Great for traction. Sprung front bogie decreases the odds of derailing. Not that this model has an issue with that anyway. Unfortunately, like the set before, "Flying Scotsman's" rear bogie is static. Molded diecast, no flange on the trailing bogie underneath the cab. Most detail is molded, various tubes and such. It does have metal handrails, both on the main half of the engine and its tender as well. The tender has molded coal, and it doesn't provide electrical pickup for the motor. And the coupling bar makes a "CLUNK" when the engine moves. I find it amusing, personally. But it can get a little old. • The coaches are great. If the hook of their hook-&-loop couplers comes off, just snap it back. Same for the wheels, and even the bogies. You can take the body shell off and you'll see each coach has a corridor and little bench seats. So you could buy a bunch of mini figures sitting down, even lights. It's why i love these cheaper budget models, you can get a solid model and have all the fun of applying the details • The track is code 100, which means it's the best for models, but is taller than the real thing, in scale. The most realistic ho scale/oo gauge track is code 75, for their height is more in-scale with real rails. You gotta be gentle when connecting the tracks, the rail-joiners/fishplates can get smooshed easily if you accidentally overlap the track and the joiner. I speak from personal experience... Anyway, can't complain. The main curves are 3rd radius, perfect for a large tender engine like Flying Scotsman. 4th being the widest fixed radius, and 1st being the tighest. Compatible with Atlas, the last i checked. Altas being an American track brand that isn't, uh... Less-than-EZ. • Good ol' AC controller. Only operates one engine at a time, you'll need to drive other locomotives into their isolated sidings before operating one of your choice. Which is why... • The points are insulated. Which is why Scot won't move if you have it in a siding with the points switched. The points being switched means the siding wont get electricity, and "Scot" will just sit there. It's deliberate, so you can have more than one engine on the track while also running one at a time. No hassle having to remove other engines! Anyway I fell back in love with trains and needed to replace the stuff i lost and broke from the last set, in my inexperience. Highly recommend, but also buy a model railway book. Seriously, i feel awful for kids who think their engine is broken cuz it's sitting on an insulated siding. Go onto the website called "Rails of Sheffield". They're *THE* British model trains online store. Three of my four model locomotives are from their Hattons portion, before Hattons closed and merged with Rails of Sheffield. Alright, I hope I was of help. Im an American railfan who loves trains from Europe as well. Ask questions, if desertcart still has that function.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the voltage 110 to 220 or only 110v for usa?**
A: From Amazon here in the US the set comes with a 110v controller with the plug for the US.

**Q: Anyone know where to get a modelling table with a hole in the middle for the user so you don't have to bend to the floor all the time ?**
A: Easiest way--- you build it your self.  They do not make "modeling" tables per se, most railroader enthusiasts build a table from readily available lumber.   I use an old dining table that was cast off and place a 4/8 sheet of paneling on top of it.  Easy enough to reach the middle.  Trust this helps,  have fun running the trains!

**Q: Is this ac or dc?**
A: The include controller/power pack requires AC.  But the locomotive is DC. The included controller/power pack converts AC to DC. Also the locomotive works with any HO controller/power pack. And it has DCC 8 pin socket.

**Q: What is the diameter of the track provided?**
A: 63 x 46-1/2" (160 x 118cm)
