First - welcome to the Forums! [welcome]

Now to your question: Hornby is quality stuff 'n my recommendation is for you to Post your inquiry over on the Model Railroader Forums (General Discussion). Not hard to find - just "click" on the Trains.com Forums - scroll down the page until you come to Model Railroader, 'n off you go!

 

There's also a Forum for Classic Toy Trains - but I don't think Hornby fits into that. Worth a try if you can't get any response with MRR . . .

 

Stop back here anytime you want to talk about REAL Classic TRAINS! Yeah!! [yeah]

 

 

Good luck! Thumbs Up [tup]

 

Happy Railroading! Siberianmo

im new to this forum but am looking for help in sorting out the problems of my train set. I re-discovered it after a year of not using and now its not workign at 100%.

 Its the Hornby Flying Scotsman 00 gauge starter pack and also extra additions (extra track and a second transformer o operate 2 circuits). Anyway, i put it together correctly and when i run the trian it does not go as fast as it used to and in some sections it stops and needs a push to restart. I looked at the actual engine and noticed that the 2 metal strips that used to be on the coupling between the engine and coal truck have fallen of. My question is, is how do i get it fully operational again?

 

thanks
