Managed to get this for my grandsons when it was £70
- what a bargain.....
We did have a few teething problems with the dcc controller, which culminated in complete failure outside of the rather mean amazon 5 mile or 5 minute warranty.
Thank goodness for Hornby. A quick email to Hornby HQ and a new controller was sent out within a day or so completely FOC - with no proof of purchase required.
I've bought Hornby products for 50+ years now - the quality of a Hornby trainset will not fail to disappoint.
I've also tried German Marklin train sets, but prefer to buy Hornby whenever possible.
To the guy who failed at the first hurdle and gave the product one star - I expect that his school reports said "Must try harder...!"
