Hornby Live Steam Mallard Train Set
No smoke units or special effects - this is real Live Steam, brought to you for the first time in '00' gauge by Hornby . Such a revolutionary model has never been seen in so much detail, but thanks to the latest technology from Hornby , these nostalgic memories of real steam engines can be replicated with your own model. This first Live Steam locomotive comes in a special set, which contains:
- Live Steam Locomotive - Mallard
- Live Steam control box and transformer box
- Large oval of '00' gauge Track (approximately 2440mm x 1070mm). 1 x R600 Straight, 7 x R601 Double Straights, 8 x R609 3rd Radius Double Curves and 1 x X5041 Terminal Track
- Oil and water syringes and protective gloves
- Lubrication oil and distilled water (please note that the distilled water will be sent separately to the train set)
- Instructions (in CD-Rom and paper formats) Without using naked flames, flammable spirit or gas, the water in this superbly engineered model locomotive can be safely heated by electricity, and then superheated within the locomotive to produce enough steam energy to run the model for at least 20 minutes. In the locomotive's tender, a small water tank is filled with distilled water, which is then heated by a mini immersion heater located within the tank. A safe, low voltage current is passed along the Track by a remote regulator which in turn powers the immersion heater. After approximately five to ten minutes, the water will be heated sufficiently, and steam will begin to appear
