Overview
First introduced in 1920, Hornby has become the brand leader of ’00’ Gauge model railways in Great Britain. Throughout its long history, Hornby has produced iconic sets, highly detailed locomotives and more. The Hornby name first appeared in 1909 on an educational Meccano set called ‘Hornby System of Mechanical Demonstration’. The first railway product was introduced in 1915 under the name ‘Raylo’. The Hornby name was not used to market a loose track model railway system until 1920. In 1938, Hornby Dublo was introduced, which later became the company’s main model railway product in the 1950s. Don’t miss the spectacular Model Railway and Scalextric layouts, plus grab the latest products in the Shop which offers an extensive range of Hornby, Scalextric, Airfix, Humbrol and Corgi products. Pocher models are recognised as some of the most complex and detailed automobile kits ever made. This new exhibition at the Hornby Visitor Centre features 24 rare and sought after models including the Fiat F2 130HP Racer, Rolls-Royce Torpedo Phantom II, Bugatti 50T Surprofilé Coupé. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llKQnE-7Zwc.
