Product Information

Full details

This Hornby TT:120 4 Wheel Coach is designed for model railway enthusiasts looking to recreate early Southern Railway travel, offering a detailed and authentic representation for those with limited space. Its key benefit is the ability to combine a small world with big ideas, making model railways more accessible. A caveat to consider is that it is part of a specific scale (TT:120) which may have a more limited selection of track and accessory options compared to larger scales. This model captures the essence of a bygone era with its SR green livery and is a great addition to Hornby's TT rolling stock range, which includes various wagons and coaches.

Troubleshooting

Check that the track is level and securely joined. Ensure the coach is correctly coupled to other rolling stock and that there are no obstructions on the track.
