Review: Hornby train set - Brilliant train set. Lots of fun for Grandson and Grandad!
Review: Big boys toys!! - Bought this for my grandson for Christmas and to make sure that everything worked my husband set it up. (And played with it all afternoon). A bit fiddly getting the track assembled and my main concern was the controller. From reading reviews a lit seemed to have ones that didn’t work which is why we set it up. Value for money? Yes possibly. The controller is a bit flimsy and cheap looking. Not sure how long it will last. Also no rail map so have had to send for one. The controller in the flying Scotsman set appears to be a better quality. It’s fir a 5 year old so would recommend .
