Product 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!

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.

I was sceptical at first but was pleasantly suprised, the detail is excellent as is the actual movement of the train as it swings round the corners at high speed, i bought this set as an addition to an already large collection of trains but just renumbered the dcc chip in the train instead of having to fit one, the dcc chip is the thing that allows you to run more than 1 train on the same track and control the lights etc. I remember when it was 1 track, 1 train but not anymore, I have had steam engines, diesel engines and electric engines all running at once! Fantastic, buy one, you wont be dissapointed
Wow! January 12, 2008

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.
