Disaster of a train set. Do Not buy
Disaster of a Christmas morning. Purchased this for my autistic 8 year old son who is a train enthusiast. Paid €230 worked for less than 30 seconds. Controller is like something from a €20 train set. Has 3 separate people look at it on Christmas morning as he was so upset. All said the same waste of money. When I started the refund with Amazon they offered me €16eur to not refund d or send back. Yet another insult for a Christmas ruined

Great looking train
Great looking and smooth out of the Box i have used it on both analogue and dcc and not disappointed by either worked equally well
User
Fat controller sacked!
The engine itself is beautiful. The controller failed after one good run around the track. Cheap and nasty. Come on, Hornby, you're supposed to be the best!

Usability
There is no front coupling on mallard and the chassis splits from the body easily.
