Hornby model trains are the most popular model trains in the UK and the company has built a reputation for manufacturing high quality and long lasting model trains. As the well as the trains, locomotives, and carriages, Hornby also produce track, buildings, and accessories. Not only can you buy these individually to create your very own model railway village but you can also buy them in sets. Buy a starter set and then add on to this using expansion packs, building packs, track packs, and new trains.
Making Trains Since 1920
Hornby has a long history dating back to 1920 with the production of the company’s first clockwork train. However, the Hornby brand can trace its roots back to 1901 and the patent for the Meccano mechanical toy. Established in Liverpool, Hornby still supplies primarily to the UK market but collectors from around the world are buying into the history of the brand and starting or growing their own collection of Hornby model trains and accessories.
The Release Of New Hornby Model Trains
With new products and new lines released most years, it’s never too late to start your collection either. Some of the more popular models are regularly updated while special collectors’ limited edition sets and trains are also added to the massive range of products that Hornby now offers. The London 2012 Hornby model train is one such example, released to celebrate the Olympics coming to London.
The Perfect Gift
You can even give your son or daughter the ideal start to their own model railways collection with a beginner set. The Hornby Thomas and Friends train set includes everything that’s needed to create a working track.
Trains, Locomotives, And Carriages
As well as being able to buy sets, collectors can purchase individual Hornby model trains. The traditional steam trains and locomotives remain as popular today as they were thirty or forty years ago and the addition of diesel and electric models has only helped increase the popularity of the range. Extra carriages, updated models of popular lines, and many other Hornby model trains can be added to any collection.
