Is Bachmann compatible with Hornby?
Yes, any OO scale loco, wagon or coach will work on any OO scale track, regardless of brand.
Couplings are also compatible so they will connect together. You can have for instance a Hornby engine pulling a Bachmann coach.
You will find that you can also run on the same track HO scale rolling stock. It is the most common scale around the world especially Europe and the USA. Some HO items may use different couplings but they are usually replaced.
This is what makes the hobby so diverse and brings a unique look to your layout. So much choice in so little space.
