## Questions & Answers

**Q: You get track with this set?**
A: No! If you buy ‘Flash’ set it comes with an oval of track and a play mat. You can then gradually add track sets (1,2,3 and 4) which will complete all the options on the playmat. Other trains (Thunder being one)  and wagons are accessory packs which can be incorporated into the layout. A great product  for  long term presents! Thoroughly recommmend!

**Q: electric train for Hornsby  track**
A: Yes will fit Hornby track and Hornby playtrains track

**Q: What size batteries are required please?**
A: 4x AAs for the train, 2xAAAs for the remote.
Note that the small screws for the battery covers come all the way out and can be easily dropped and lost; also, first time, the screws were very stiff and unless you get the exact sized screwdriver head, you could easily end up stripping the cross head of the screw!

**Q: Do I need to buy a remote control separately for this or is it included?**
A: Yes you do. There is a selector switch under the loco (A or B) which you pair with a similar switch on the remote control. Them you can run 2 locos simultaneously. Works very well. Have fun!
