I really like the look of the virgin pendolino and noticed the train pack was £120 and the trainset was £160 my question is, if you spend £40 more on the train set you get the large Oval of track with two sidings, two points and two buffer stops
Hornby TrakMat ,Hornby Select Digital Control Unit ,so are the trains in the £120 inferior as the select dcc is £70 on its own + the track and track mat must amount to at least another £25, so if it is the same trains why is there such a difference in price thanx
