Hornby West Coast Highlander OO Gauge Train Set (US plug)

Hornby Railways is a British model railway brand that dates back to the early 1900's. Over this time it has consistently made high quality and highly detailed model railway products for beginners and the serious model enthusiast.

Experience the thrill of life on the railways of yesteryear with the Hornby West Coast Highlander Train Set. At the peak of its operational powers, the West Coast Highlander hauled freight trains along the small branch lines of the Highland Line, connecting the remote rural towns and villages of Scotland to the main line. The steep gradients and sharp curves of this tough section of Highland track regularly saw the train put through its paces - and now you can relive those journeys in your home with the Hornby West Coast Highlander.

This Hornby model railway set includes a smart 4-wheel 0-4-0 locomotive and a selection of model train wagons designed to emulate those small and hardy trains of days gone by. Supplied with an oval model train track with siding, this train set will provide users with an extra degree of operational interest as wagons have to be shunted to and fro to allow them to be dropped off and picked up on the train’s return journey. An ideal train set as an introduction to model railways.

The track circuit in this set can be extended to fully complete the included TrakMat layout using additional track and accessory packs thus creating an exciting and fully functioning model railway. The TrakMat is the ideal base for your layout, it provides a colorful finish to your baseboard and shows you where to lay the track. It also shows you where to add buildings and accessories when you wish to extend your layout.
