Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

This stunning 4 car Pendolino pack is representative of Virgin Trains latest 'state of the art' passenger train. The new Hornby 4 car model is ready to use straight out of the box. Designed to capture the real essence and style of its full size counterpart, the Pendolino can show off its accurate tilting mechanism especially when the train travels at speed around the bends. Each Power car unit is fitted with directional lights plus a Hornby digital decoder so that the lights can be switched on and off, even when the train is in motion.

  • Virgin Trains Class 390 Power Car (non-motorised)
  • Standard Buffet Coach (non operating pantograph)
  • Standard Open Coach

    3.0 out of 5 stars Great train set, but......., 5 Jan 2009

    This review is from: Hornby Virgin Trains R1076 Virgin Trains Pendolino 00 Gauge Digital (DCC) Train Set (Toy)
    Have just set up this set for my sons Christmas gift. As I dont have any background in model trains I went about following the instructions to the letter. So far so good. My son then wanted to spend his Christmas money on some of the track extension packs, so to cut a long story shart he decided to buy the pack containing the 'level crossing'. This is where the problem started. When the track is laid out, as Hornby recomends on the track mat and the train approached the level crossing from the curve (not the points) the train hits the posts on the level crossing. To make matters worse when you have the full track - as described on the box - and if you were to have stationery rolling stock on the outer curves, the 'drive' train (on the inner track) will hit the stock! This I feel could have been avoided by allowing a greater gap in the distance between the track. So in conclusion, as far as the train goes, it's a work of art - fantastic to watch. With the track layout, be carefull, I have solved the problem by buying more track and increasing the gap between the tracks, though the level crossing will take a little more effort and discussion with my 7yo son.

    This review is from: Hornby Virgin Trains R1076 Virgin Trains Pendolino 00 Gauge Digital (DCC) Train Set (Toy)
    This is a good starter set for anyone looking to get in to Railway modelling or convert to DCC models.

    I bought this after an absence of 16 years in Model railways and loved it, the Pendolinos tilt mechanisms good, and you can really see it on 2nd and 3rd radius curves.

    I'd also recommend you buy the track extension packs that go along with it if you don't plan to model your own track.

    This review is from: Hornby Virgin Trains R1076 Virgin Trains Pendolino 00 Gauge Digital (DCC) Train Set (Toy)
    This is an excellent train, in terms of detail and even the tilt is accurate. There is a slight problem with the stiffness of the wires inside the engines which can snap, but once repaired, shouldn't give anymore bother! For anyone interested in model railways, this is either a good starting point (It even have working lights!) or an ideal extra for an experienced modeller.
