Interesting product.

by Robert

Interesting product. Are there any other cars planned, or available? Its a pretty short train. Its going to be interesting to see the level of detail on this model. As a follower of British Hornby, this is an interesting step forward into the US market.

Track that comes with set is a bit tight for moderate to high speeds.

by George -

Purchased this item last week. Comes with Hornby R609 curved track. This equates to 19.88-inch radius. Be aware that this radius is "minimal" for this train. The pivoting ability of the trucks on the engine are very tight for this radius. It kept "jumping the track" at moderate to higher speeds. I had to trim the plastic on the engine where the wheels hit the frame to allow a little more pivot for the wheels. With this done it runs like a champ. My advice is to run the Acela on 24-inch radius track and you should have no problems at all.
