Both Hornby and Bachmann sets use standard OO/HO track which is compatible - either may be expanded with either Hornby or Peco track. The locos and rolling stock are also compatible as the couplings are very alike and will connect without problem. Both use a mains powered controller providing a 12v variable speed supply for one locomotive. Unless stated otherwise they are ready to run once assembled.
The Hornby Railroad range includes several budget priced train packs ideal for adding another train to your train set. Click here for a full list.

A new train set for 2012 featuring a former GWR pannier tank locomotive painted in the London Transport locomotive red livery hauling a train of two engineering wagons and complemented by one of the BR design brake vans owned by LT.

The locomotives remained in service until the early 1970s, resulting in many of them 'retiring' directly to a third career on heritage steam railways! This train set is supplied with an oval of track and a speed controller with a UK mains power plug.
