Starter Sets

WELCOME TO OUR GIANT SELECTION OF OO GAUGE TRAIN SETS

If you are getting started in the great hobby of railway modelling, there is no better way than with a starter set or train set and we are the go to shop as our selection is as big as any in the world!

OO Gauge is 1:76 scale (or 1:76.2 scale to be precise) and is the most popular gauge to model in the United Kingdom with nearly all of the major manufacturers supporting it.  There is a comprehensive range of locomotives, coaches, wagons, track and accessories to extend with, so the possibilities are almost limitless.

The most popular brand of train set is Hornby but you might also want to consider similar sets from Bachmann or some of the other brands we have carefully selected for you to choose from.  We stock train sets containing iconic and workaday Steam Locomotives as well as Diesels and Electrics as well as the very latest Multiple Units that you see on the real railway today.

Train sets are an ideal gift and a popular birthday present and off course, who wouldn’t want to receive a train set for Christmas and we even have specially themed seasonal sets to run around a Christmas tree.

When buying a train set as a gift, you might want to consider a track or building extension set as a supplementary gift as this will add operational interest right from the start, as a thoughtful and useful addition.

We are one of the largest suppliers of OO Gauge Train Sets in the world and our experienced expert team (who are all modellers themselves) are on hand to guide you with any advice or suggestions you might need.  Enhance your modelling by buying Hornby Train Sets and Bachmann Starter Sets direct from Gaugemaster – the model shop for BIG imaginations.
