Thanks very much Mark, I'm glad you like the video....and no problem at all mate...It's always good to hear from you :))

Thanks very much Mike.

Thanks very much Dave :) It was very interesting to find out more about these trains...and now I seem to have become a collector...lol. I'll be doing the Hornby Express upgrades next. All the best my friend :)

haha famous last words "i seem to have become a collector" !!

Haha...Yes indeed :))

Hi Ed, thanks :) Yes, it was quite a surprise to uncover the history of this set. I''ve also found a photo of this Frecciarossa model sold as a Hornby Junior 'Alpine Express' set with a fold out card mountain and tunnel. All avenues to this set have come to a dead end....It's just disappeared. I'll do an unboxing/review of the new Frecciarossa 1000 when it arrives. All the best...Tom

Cheers mate. Quite surprised to find all this out.

Thank you very much :)
