what is the orange plastic piece?

I do not recall there being an orange piece in the package. Can the inquirer send a photo?

I have the hornby junior express train, does the a pack extension work with this set?

The R8221-00 track set will Not work with the jr express train set. The train set that you have uses plastic "snap" together track which is not compatable to the normal Horby track because it uses metal tabs called "fish plates" to join the track sections together.

I have a Hornby train set, Need the entire track and power source. is this product only an extension? how much is the entire oval track ?

Hiya = This is only an extension - There are a multiple options for the starter oval tracks.

Expensive expansion for Santa Express

Bought this for the Santa Express to expand it the tiniest amount to fit around my tree collar. It fit but the train just clipped the edge so didn’t have the power to push past it. I needed 2 straight pieces really but this comes with 1 normal straight piece and 2 long straight pieces. Why they couldn’t just include 4 or 6 (to even things out) normal straight pieces I don’t know. It would add far more versatility. Perhaps that’s the point - so you’ll buy the next one. Anyway, does the job for me, a total newbie to trains. Just wanted it to be cute around the Christmas tree.

Good quality track

Good for when extending your track, but don't do what I did and not realise that my 00 gauge mallard train set already contains the track for pack a. Easy to connect with the other track. Value for money

Extension Kit

This is the last part of the Hornby trakmat jigsaw, and it is a nice feeling to have the rail layout finally complete, and everything working well.The Hornby trakmat is approx 6'x4' in size, and is an easy way of laying out the track. You can either stick this down on the baseboard, or have it beside you when laying the track. In my case I stuck it down, and as the paper mat comes folded to approx. 12"x12" you have many creases when unfolded. Ironing it does not do a lot to eliminate these creases, so I stuck it down by running PVA glue just over the creased areas, and this worked fine. Some people use wall paper paste over the whole area.It will easily tear so use care. The trakmat may not appear to be totally acurate in places, but this is possibly due to lithographic printing, and should not bother you.
