Young or old, keen modeller or just a beginner, the Hornby Rail Road range answers the needs of many & is a perfect complement to the variety of locomotives, rolling stock, track, buildings, & accessories that can be found in the current Hornby catalogue. Devoid of easily damaged detail parts the suitably livered Rail Road locomotives are fitted with efficient drive mechanisms & have pickups on all drive wheels ensuring smooth running. All the Rail Road models are fitted with the standard Hornby hook & bar type couplings & will therefore easily couple to those locomotives & rolling stock in both the standard Hornby & Thomas & Friends ranges. With this in mind it is easy to see that those models that make up the Hornby Rail Road range are a simple & cost effective way of adding to a train set providing a suitable & most appropriate stepping stone into the varied & fascinating World of model railways. The introductory range offers not only a selection of individual locomotives, rolling stock & accessories but an assortment of train & wagon packs ideally suited for either train set rolling stock enhancements or for those who wish to experiment & try their hands at developing their modelling techniques!

Note that these units are only suitable for operation on second radius curved track or greater.
