This is truly a magnificent set and one that will get the lucky recipient well on the way to building a model railway that they can be proud of! The famous "Royal Scot" train included with this set is representative of the famous London to Scotland service of the late '40s / early '50s and was a rival to the "Flying Scotsman" which ran on the East Coast Mainline.The awesome power of the full size Duchess locomotive is ably replicated by the model in the set which is powered by a 5 pole skew wound motor housed underneath the locomotive's body, with the superb liveries on both the locomotive and the four coaches being representative of the period.The "Royal Scot" set includes a large oval of track with two sidings and a station which fits easily onto the Hornby TrakMat.Additional Hornby Track and Accessory Packs (see page 133) will complete the main
infrastructure of the TrakMat leaving any additional details for the operator to complete.The "City of Bristol" locomotive is DCC Ready.
