Train set

A train set is a set, normally consisting of a train, a circle/oval of track and a controller. More modern variations, such as those made by Bachmann and Hornby (Both UK companies), can include a siding or two, digital control in replacement of analogue control and more than one train.

Hornby produce a wide range of train sets, such as 'Smokey Joe' and 'Local Fright', analogue entry level sets, up to 'Cost Express', a premium set, comprising a pullman train, double track oval and controller for two tracks/trains. Some Hornby sets, such as 'The Western Spirit', compose of a mixed train.

Since the introduction of digital control, both Hornby and Bachmann have introduced train sets which feature their respective 'elite', select' and 'dynamis' control systems.
