ALL ABOARD!

They don’t make them like this anymore — you can still catch a direct train from London to Edinburgh, but not quite as it was in the summers of the 1930s. The popular Hornby Flying Scotsman train set recreates that golden period with its classic teak coaches. The set includes the Starter Oval track plus extension Track Pack A, providing a layout with a siding, and when you want to explore further afield more Track Packs are available for purchase. Priced at $399. Head online to mackstrack.co.nz, call 04 233 8555, email sales@mackstrack.co.nz, or visit the Mack’s Track store at Plimmerton Railway Station in Wellington.
