Unboxing and Reviewing Hornby's High Speed junior set. £25 brand new from Ebay, I want to find out if it's worth it and, also, if it's possible to modify.

Hi Linda, thanks :) I'm interested in what Hornby's doing these days so I wanted to see if this set is any good for kids. And also to see if it's any good for me to mess around with and modify..lol :) All the best...Tom

Fabulous review Tom!..i dont know if its of interest to you with your project but there is a Jouef set identical to this in blue and silver on ebay now for 23.99...it would give you a second train for the layout..will be fascinating to see what you do next with this....me and my grandson are watching with interest lol ! all the best dave

Thanks very much Dave :) Yes, the Jouef set is in my watchlist..lol. I wanted to buy it but I had to bite my sticky Ebay fingers as I've bought some other bits. I have a few different layout ideas...due to the wide radius track I think it will be a modular layout that can be stored away. Thanks for the interest and all the best :)

Hi Fred, thanks :) I'm looking forward to this one. It's great that the train's compatible with 00 so I may even give this a run in the loft, too. Lots of ideas :) All the best mate.

Can this be put on to an electric tack or does it hav to be just batterty powered

@tomjenssen7486 5 жыл бұрын

Hi, this train is battery power only as it has plastic wheels. You can run it on on metal track but it will not go over points/turnouts as it has a fixed driving axle. All the best...Tom

Can the set use different carriages?

@tomjenssen7486 5 жыл бұрын

Not really...It has a hook and loop type coupling the same as the Hornby 395 Javelin but this set is Ho scale. The axles are also set too high to match anything else. I bought this set for a conversion project but apart from that it really is just a kids toy.
