They do not make "modeling" tables per se, most railroader enthusiasts build a table from readily available lumber. I use an old dining table that was cast off and place a 4/8 sheet of paneling on top of it. Easy enough to reach the middle. Trust this helps, have fun running the trains! **Q: Is this ac or dc?** A: The include controller/power pack requires AC. But the locomotive is DC. The included controller/power pack converts AC to DC. Also the locomotive works with any HO controller/power pack. And it has DCC 8 pin socket. **Q: What is the diameter of the track provided?** A: 63 x 46-1/2" (160 x 118cm) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by Z***D on October 17, 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***D on March 8, 2024* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on April 19, 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - Hornby Electric Train Set - R1255M The Flying Scotsman A1Class - OO Gauge Train Starter Sets, Adult Vintage Trains, Small Hobby Model for Adults - with Tracks, MidiMat, Connecting Track, Controller - Hornby Hobby Train Tracks - R8221 Extension Pack A Track Pieces - Small Scale Model Accessories for Train, Electric Railroad Supplies with HO/OO Gauge Compatibility, Straight/Curved Tracks - Hornby Hobby Train Tracks - R8225 Extension Pack E Track Pieces - Small Scale Model Accessories for Train, Electric Railroad Supplies with HO/OO Gauge Compatibility, Straight/Curved Tracks --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/220673725-hornby-electric-train-set-r1255m-the-flying-scotsman-a1class-oo](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/220673725-hornby-electric-train-set-r1255m-the-flying-scotsman-a1class-oo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
