Hornby trains is a great train brand.I only got a set recently and it is working great.What Hornby trains look like is a totally different story.Hornby specialises in making model trains.The trains they make look like real trains from the real world.The trains don't have electricity in them.You can get these things called transformers.They have wires that connect into the track.You have to have a whole circuit for the electricity to run around.The wheels on the Hornby trains then transmit the electricity into the motor therefore making the engine turn on and making the wheels turn.You can connect carriages to the trains and then set up model villages and even get famous for having the biggest train collection.The problem is that just a train is $150 and a set at the lowest costs $250.Some sets are so rare that they cost $300-$400 dollars.if you are living in perth then all your Hornby needs will be at Stanbridges in Mount Lawley.
That should be enough infomation about the wonderful world of Hornby Train Sets!If you wanted to set up a collection of Hornby trains then your looking at $1000-$2000 dollars.it depends what you want.A small collection or a big collection
Well,thats enough from me for now,
