Hornby BR ‘The Royal Scot’ Train Set - Era 3
Product Code: R1283M
Production Details:
To own a Hornby Dubo Set was for
many the ultimate and to have one that featured a large
Pacific locomotive was just a dream come true. The
Hornby Dublo 'Duchess of Montrose' first appeared in a
set during 1953 but it was some 5 years later that the
set was repackaged and rebranded the 'Royal Scot'. The
new graphics which featured a young boy looking
excitedly at the trains in front of him, formed a visual
template for other sets but it was the BR Green 'Duchess
of Montrose' locomotive, plus two coaches and an oval of
3-rail track that really made the set stand out from the
rest. Some 64 years later the new Hornby Dublo 'Royal
Scot' Train Set makes a welcome return and features the
new metal bodied 'Duchess of Montrose' in BR Green, plus
two coaches and 3rd Radius Oval Track, Power Connecting
Track and Re-Railer. As with the original, the set also
includes a 'Royal Scot' headboard while the coaches have
separate destination boards.NB. This set does not
include a wall transformer or controller.
