Hornby - Valley Drifter Train Set

Product Code: R1270M

Production Details:

Hornby Valley Drifter Train Set. The romance of the railways in the United Kingdom was arguably at its best when hundreds of minor railway lines traversed the countryside. In those days the locomotive drivers would have unscheduled stops along the line picking up or dropping off goods as they meandered from village to village. In consequence it is probably not surprising that some of the local inhabitants who relied upon the railway would have called their local train ‘Valley Drifter’. This set includes a Hornby MidiMat and an oval of track which can be enlarged to a simple but effective layout with the addition of Hornby Track and Accessory Packs.

Hornby BR ‘The Royal Scot’ Train Set - Era 3

Product Code: R1283M

To own a Hornby Dubo Set was for many the ultimate and to have one that featured a large Pacific locomotive was just a dream come true. The Hornby Dublo 'Duchess of Montrose' first appeared in a set during 1953 but it was some 5 years later that the set was repackaged and rebranded the 'Royal Scot'. The new graphics which featured a young boy looking excitedly at the trains in front of him, formed a visual template for other sets but it was the BR Green 'Duchess of Montrose' locomotive, plus two coaches and an oval of 3-rail track that really made the set stand out from the rest. Some 64 years later the new Hornby Dublo 'Royal Scot' Train Set makes a welcome return and features the new metal bodied 'Duchess of Montrose' in BR Green, plus two coaches and 3rd Radius Oval Track, Power Connecting Track and Re-Railer. As with the original, the set also includes a 'Royal Scot' headboard while the coaches have separate destination boards. NB. This set does not include a wall transformer or controller.

Hornby Tri-ang Railways Remembered: RS30 Crash Train Set (Limited Edition 1000)

Product Code: R1285M

Production Details:

Tri-ang Railways was formed in 1953 when Rovex Industries was obtained by the Lines Bros. New models from Tri-ang Railways occurred at an astonishing rate until by 1960 their range boasted many exciting train sets, locomotives, coaches, wagons, buildings and track. The excitement of the Tri-ang Railways sets were superbly highlighted by imaginative full colour graphics in the annual Tri-ang Railways catalogue that not only depicted the trains but where sets were concerned invariably placed them in an action-packed situation which just simply inspired and excited those young eyes that eagerly scanned the pages.

The enigmatic images and the dramatic set titles were enough for the catalogues to be poured over for hours on end with hopes and wishes that for Christmas or maybe a birthday the train set which offered so much potential excitement would be the present most wanted. For some the gift never arrived but memories of the endless time spent turning the pages of the dog-eared Tri-ang Railways catalogue and the wishing and hoping never left them. Once again, those wonderful halcyon and imaginative days can be relived with the introduction of the Tri-ang Railways Remembered Train Sets.

The production of this Set had been delayed until the introduction of the R127 mobile crane but in 1963 the ‘Crash’ Train Set appeared and was an instant success. The catalogue image and descriptive copy simply told the story and fired the imagination as well as the demand for the Set. ‘Crash’ remained in the Triang Railways range for a period of three years and in that time over 19000 sets were produced and sold. NB. This set does not include a wall transformer or controller.

Tech Specs: Item Length - Without Packaging (cm): 60, Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge, Finish: Painted, Colour: Black, DCC Status: DCC Ready 8 pin socket, Operator: Hornby, Designer: Hornby, Livery: BR Black, Minimum Curve (mm): Radius 1, Motor: 5 Pole Skew wound,

The popular set remained in the Triang Railways Set range for two years although the majority were sold in the first year. NB. This set does not include a wall transformer or controller.
