## Description

The romance of the railways in the United Kingdom was arguably at its best when hundreds of minor railway lines traversed the countryside. In those days the locomotive drivers would have unscheduled stops along the line picking up or dropping off goods as they meandered from village to village. In consequence it is probably not surprising that some of the local inhabitants who relied upon the railway would have called their local train ‘Valley Drifter’. This set includes a Hornby MidiMat and an oval of track which can be enlarged to a simple but effective layout with the addition of Hornby Track and Accessory Packs.

Review: Great item at a great price 👍
Review: Excellent low-budget entry-level set to get a youngster into the hobby, but spoilt by not being sold market ready as it has a UK spec. three pin plug fitted and requires a further purchase of an adaptor to function, not specified in the selling description. Hornby are a good company, but somebody needs to tell desertcart to warn customers about this.
