A: The R8221-00 track set will Not work with the jr express train set. The train set that you have uses plastic "snap" together track which is not compatable to the normal Horby track because it uses metal tabs called "fish plates" to join the track sections together.

**Q: I have a Hornby train set, Need the entire track and power source. is this product only an extension? how much is the entire oval track ?**
A: Hiya = This is only an extension - There are a multiple options for the starter oval tracks.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality track
*by W***M on 24 May 2025*

Good for when extending your track, but don't do what I did and not realise that my 00 gauge mallard train set already contains the track for pack a. Easy to connect with the other track.Value for money

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Is what's in the box
*by S***S on 8 August 2025*

Product came as expected all items accounted for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive expansion for Santa Express
*by A***W on 30 October 2022*

Bought this for the Santa Express to expand it the tiniest amount to fit around my tree collar. It fit but the train just clipped the edge so didn’t have the power to push past it. I needed 2 straight pieces really but this comes with 1 normal straight piece and 2 long straight pieces. Why they couldn’t just include 4 or 6 (to even things out) normal straight pieces I don’t know. It would add far more versatility. Perhaps that’s the point - so you’ll buy the next one. Anyway, does the job for me, a total newbie to trains. Just wanted it to be cute around the Christmas tree.
