Hornby Train Set - R1255M Flying Scotsman Analogue OO Gauge Locomotives Model Railway Sets, Starter Electric Locomotive Kits - Miniature Steam Engine Building Kits, 1:76 Scale Model Train Gifts

Absolutely brilliant straight out of box.

Great price and great delivery. Always wanted the Flying Scotsman as a child! Great product.

Bought this for my grandson for Christmas and to make sure that everything worked my husband set it up. (And played with it all afternoon). A bit fiddly getting the track assembled and my main concern was the controller. From reading reviews a lit seemed to have ones that didn’t work which is why we set it up. Value for money? Yes possibly. The controller is a bit flimsy and cheap looking. Not sure how long it will last. Also no rail map so have had to send for one. The controller in the flying Scotsman set appears to be a better quality. It’s fir a 5 year old so would recommend .

The loco and carriages are nicely detailed and the track and fishplates work well, the controller could do with a upgrade as the forward and reverse slide switch is very stiff and takes a lot of pressure to move it. worst of all is the coupling from the loco to the tender is very weak and flimsy eg keeps dropping off the tender which also could do with a decent upgrade. Take a look at the older hornby flying scotsman how the tender attaches to the train you will see it is more stronger and robust.

Totality happy with quality and accuracy of model with original real train.

Great looking and smooth out of the Box i have used it on both analogue and dcc and not disappointed by either worked equally well

Didn't work, faulty controller. Got one very upset little boy as it was his Christmas present. Thought hornby was supposed to be the best, but very disappointed, expected it to be perfect especially for the cost.

Bought for grandson very happy with purchase well worth the money
