Hornby Train Set - R1248 Santa's Express Christmas Analogue OO Gauge Model

A great starter set, providing a good introduction to the world of European style trains modeled in the British counterpart to American HO scale, which runs on standard HO track. The locomotive is nicely modeled, though it lacks significant power, causing the locomotive wheels to slip if too much weight is behind it in the number or weight of freight cars. Makes a good Christmas set for a decorative arrangement around a table size holiday tree and or appropriately sized Christmas village.

The set works amazingly and it’s exactly as advertised

We absolutely love this train. We wanted a train for around the Christmas tree and bought a battery train from another brand but that one was terrible and such a headache to be charging the battery all the time. I wanted an electric train set but all of them are too expensive and then I happen to find this one. Compared to the other train sets I thought it was going to be a cheap train but turns out it seems pretty good quality. Track was a little hard to put together but other than that the train has been pretty good. Doesn't derail at all and has pretty good speed. We absolutely love it. If anything changes I will update the review but as of now everything is working perfectly!

Works great as long as no one touches it. If u have small kids or pet not friendly for either of those.

Great little train. My son loves it. He’s only four and wants to touch it all the time and keeps knocking it off the track. That said, it’s seems durable because of that.

Once you set it up (be careful) runs and quiet.

I love the small engine it comes with. It runs very well, it can't pull much due to its size.

Year one we had no trouble. Train ran fine for our Christmas village until the day before taking everything down. Engine stopped running. Motor went bad and would sometimes run for a few seconds and then stop.

Great train set very sturdy and colourful. The train runs smoothly but has a problem with the controller not working properly. it arc's and it comes with a UK plug, I purchased a AUS plug and it arc's still. I purchased a universal plug to go with the UK plug and it still arc's. The train itself is very smooth and looks great the track is great and the purchase I was happy with but it keeps arcing and that is a problem to leave it on, whether it will catch fire I have returned to amazon for refund.

I bought this because i wanted to decorate the Christmas table with something special... It is very easy to assembly, but everything is plastic, so don't expect Mærklin quality with this set... But it is cute and good for children to play with :)

A fait son effet sous le sapin vitesse réglable par le boîtier reste un petit peu léger pour être manipulé par les enfants et bouton marche avant, stop et arrière dur.. mais je pense durable... A condition de faire attention a l'emboîtement des rails a l'installation ! Attention prise anglaise ! Prévoir un adaptateur !

A great addition to christmas. It works really well and looks great. The kids love it
