Class 91 I got this train because it's the GNER 225 that I use all the time. When going up to Scotland to see my Mum and Dad. I also think that, it's a well smart train. The GNER 225 Mallard Train Pack is made by Hornby. I got it brand new from ebay UK. It cost £69.00. Full price it would have been £89.99. So I was well happy. Related Internet links

Double level crossing Comes with track moulded into the base at intervals to suit standard Hornby twin-track geometry. Supplied with traditional gates as shown here and alternative modern barriers. I got this off eBay, I paid £11.95. Which is not too bad, since the recommended retail price on the Hornby website is £14.75. So I made a saving of £2.80. |

Features include forward and reverse switch, plus LED indicators for mains supply and output power. Outputs include non-variable AC and DC power for point motors and other powered accessories. I got this item off eBay. I paid £37.35. So I was well happy, as it listed as £63.50 on the Hornby website. So I made a saving of £26.15. |

HM 2000+ right hand DC controller HM2000+ controllers plug into the main power controller (HM2000) to increase the number of trains you can control at one time. Recommended maximum is two units, one plugged in on the left side of the main controller and one plugged in on the right, providing control for four trains in all. HM2000+ controllers have all the same control features as the HM2000 master unit. I got this item off eBay. I paid £17.07. So I was well happy, as it listed as £29 on the Hornby website. So I made a saving of £11.93. |
