Airfix 1/72 WWII Afrika Korps # 01711

#Silly me (2008-09-01) When I was a lad these guys were the dogs b s of the toy soldier world. Unfortunately I was too stupid to notice that they were 1:72 scale (i. e. tiny) and not the 1:36 scale I played with as a kid. . . . either that or things just seemed bigger back then :) .

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!

#Christmas Present (2009-02-15) Very impressed with delivery time of product, was bought as a Xmas present and was cheapest price compared with other sellers. Overall, train set lives up to what Hornby say it does. Now need to make track bigger for other trains

#Pendolino (2009-02-01) Hornby Virgin Trains Pendolino - Digital Train SetBought this train as a christmas present, on first time use the connection that supplies power to the track kept coming loose and shorting out, this was rectified by replacing that part but on further use of the the train set we discovered that when there are 4 parts (all that came in the set)of the train on the track it kept de-railing!! Not that impressed as we had one very unhappy nine year old as the train set was eventually sent back and we now have a less high tech one that works perfectly.

#Great train set, but....... (2009-01-05) Have just set up this set for my sons Christmas gift. As I dont have any background in model trains I went about following the instructions to the letter. So far so good. My son then wanted to spend his Christmas money on some of the track extension packs, so to cut a long story shart he decided to buy the pack containing the level crossing . This is where the problem started. When the track is laid out, as Hornby recomends on the track mat and the train approached the level crossing from the curve (not the points) the train hits the pos...

#Great when it s working. Hopefully you won t have my experiance! (2008-12-30) My six year old is totally smitten, but I m the one who had to modify the broken train and fix all the derailments!In my particular case I think the package had had a bumpy ride, the internal weight in the motorised engine car was lose and the dummy engine car s lights have only worked occasionally. I don t know if this points to damage to the DCC chip in the engine but if the motorised engine is pointing clockwise then it inists on going at full speed and ignores all instruction from the controller. Th...

It s 1815 and The Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte has raised an army and intends to rule over Europe. This ambition was finally thwarted on the Battlefield of Waterloo, in what is now Belgium, by an allied army led by the Duke of Wellington. Much of the battle was centred around a farmhouse, and this is the centrepiece of this superb set, containing a battle scene, and nine regiments of troops. Supplied by eModels.co.uk
