A very special presentation boxed set replicating the famous 'Venice-Simplon Orient Express' which departed from London's Waterloo station and connected with the French railways via a Channel ferry, on the way to Venice. 

The substantial double track circuit is large enough to allow an additional train to be added at a later date to either the inner or outer oval and it is for this reason that the HM2000 twin controller (See power controller section for specification) has also been included so that two trains can be independently controlled while operating on the two seperate circuits. And when it comes to planning a larger layout, the Hornby Virtual Railway CD-Rom, also included, will help the user to do just that!

The loco and coaches are simply superb! British Railways (ex Southern Railway) Mechant Navy Class 8P 4-6-2 United States Lines locomotive, Pullman Parlour Car Cygnus, Pullman Kitchen Car Ibis and Pullman Brake Car Minerva are all fitted with table lamps that actually light when the train is in motion.  All packed in a super presentation chest!

An additional coach pack containing four more Pullman cars can be purchased to extend the length of the Orient Express train to seven coaches!

Remember as with all our train sets there is no carriage to pay.
