Product Highlight: N Scale Train Sets
For anyone looking to start modelling railways in N Scale, a Graham Farish analogue (DC) Train Set would be a fantastic place to start. There are multiple sets available, representing a wide range of eras, location and purpose.
Each set contains everything that you need to get started for a model railway; a locomotive and rolling stock, a 714mm x 540mm oval of N Scale track, an Analogue (DC) Controller in Graham Farish’s black and yellow colour scheme, a Power Supply and a Power Clip. The locomotives in the sets all feature NEM Coupling Pockets and a DCC decoder socket so that they can be easily converted for digital operation at a later date.
Two of the sets are also available as SOUND FITTED versions, where the locomotive has been equipped with a DCC Sound Decoder and sound project that allows the modeller to enjoy the full experience that sound models can provide when used on analogue control. As the locomotives in these sets have already been fitted with a decoder, they may also be used on DCC layouts.
