Hornby R1139 Blue Rapier 00 Gauge Electric Train Set.
The specially prepared three vehicle model in this set is resplendent in the distinctive blue livery of the prototype and is justifiably named the "Blue Rapier". Both power and dummy cars have headlights that operate in the direction of travel.
- The track circuit fits easily on the 1600 x 1270cm MidiMat and by adding Hornby Track Packs and accessory packs can soon be developed into a very effective model railway layout.
- 00 gauge.
- Not DCC (digital) compatible.
- Space required 1575mm x 1143mm.
- Track layout: Extended oval with one siding and a buffer stop.
- 1 driver, 1 dummy driver plus 1 coach.
- Size H60, W30, D8cm.
- Weight 2080g.
- For ages 3 years and over.
- EAN/MPN/UPC/ISBN: 5010963411398.
WARNING(S):
- Not suitable for children under 3 years old.
- For domestic use only.

Poor Purchase
By Alan

"Although this item is in Hornby's Low budget range this is no reason for extremely poor quality.
When first run from the box, the engine made a very rough growling noise and refused to move.
It only moved on three quarters power.
