Fun for all ages
Bought for a family member for Christmas, have not opened it Looks great from outside of the box. Was cheaper than on the Hornby.
I decided to revisit my misspent childhood and purchase this set. I am happy to report that I was not disappointed at all with it. A really good purchase at just under 70.
The loco is a standard 0-4-0 shunter, coming complete with a Santa decorated red closed van and a double container wagon. All carry the Coca Cola logo. A pleasant surprise to this set is the inclusion of a 3rd, yes 3rd, radius oval of track. It might have been tempting to just include a 2nd (or even a 1st) radius. I suspect however that 1st radius could be on the way out, seeing that most, if not all, new locomotives nowadays only take an absolute minimum of 2nd radius. A wagon/coach rerailer is included also, to enable easy placement of rolling stock on the track. That said, it might have helped to have had a double straight for this purpose, but that is only a minor criticism. The controller is a standard train set one, which is just about adequate for this set.
The double container wagon could have had better grips to hold the containers in place and the bogies could have been more solid to avoid the slight rocking motion that happens on curves and over points (points are not included in this set). There have been several instances of this set being split to sell individual items separately and yours truly has bought two more double container wagons to extend the train.
It always pays to run in a new loco, so 30 minutes at 50% speed in each direction will do to enable a smooth running for a long time to come. A good set, not without its criticisms, but well worth it.
Amazingly fast delivery!
Arrived less than 24 hrs after it had been ordered – despite sending an email to apologise for the possibility of its being delayed. A fun item for a child model railway enthusiast, will cheer up the layout.
Perfect Christmas trai
It looks great, and the quality is there as it seems to be with all Hornby trains. It’s a great looking little train with enough track to be set up nicely around a christmas tree!
Happy Christmas
Actually got this for around our Christmas tree and it worked well for that purpose. Was easy and fun to put together. Quality product and will be used at least annually.
Reasonably priced and good collectors set. Only one carriage has santa on it so you can you most of the set all year round. Containers are removable so you could put other containers on the carriage.
