Hornby steam locomotives are exquisitely built to our famous, exacting standards and all the authentic detailing from logos to rivets are meticulously executed to complement your layout. Here at Hornby, our engineers have added some 21st Century technology to these romantic engines and we offer DCC-fitted and DCC-ready model steam trains in addition to the analogue range. Our DCC trains run under full digital control to enable independent engine movement on the same sections of track and the DCC trains with sound include fabulous, realistic audio to accompany the locomotives actions. From the thundering 4-6-2 formation to the modest 0-6-0 tank, there are steam engines to suit any modeller's layout.
