Review: Track layout - Nice addition to my track layout
Review: A nice accessory - As with all these items it is a little fiddly to construct, and it is essential to have a good set of tweezers to hand, paticularly for installing the plastic glazing in the openings. Hornby instructions suggest using sticky clear tape, but I prefer using a clear contact adhesive just round the edges of the glazing.The overall looks, and detail is outstanding, and fairly good value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Track layout

Nice addition to my track layout

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice accessory
*by R***B on 19 January 2012*

As with all these items it is a little fiddly to construct, and it is essential to have a good set of tweezers to hand, paticularly for installing the plastic glazing in the openings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bit overpriced
*by D***S on 28 September 2022*

Like most Hornby products this budget set is not good value for money and over priced, again a basic mono coloured set that needs some brush work. My station house was particularly plasticky and the screened brick work was very bad, even card kits looked more realistic.
