Hornby Mixed Traffic Train Set is a model railway collection that combines a diesel shunter, a steam locomotive and a range of wagons in a single kit. The set includes a British Rail Class 08 diesel locomotive (running number 08965) finished in red, a Great Western Railway 2721 steam locomotive (running number 701) finished in green, and assorted wagons – a 7‑plank wagon, a tippler wagon, a van and a tank wagon – all supplied in a pristine condition. Each locomotive is DCC fitted and carries a Type 7 motor; the diesel and steam units are described as having a maximum speed of 15 mph.

The locomotives measure 124 mm (diesel) and 120 mm (steam) in length and require a minimum curve radius of 371 mm (first radius). The model specifications are referenced by the manufacturer part number R1236. All components are presented with a pristine finish and appropriate livery, including GWR green and BR red for the diesel unit.

The real‑world prototypes represented by the set were built between 1952 and 1962 (Class 08, 996 produced) and between 1897 and 1901 (GWR 2721, 80 produced). The collection represents the era of the British railway “Big Four” (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR).
