A few of the Hornby products may be expensive. But I for one am glad that the price of the typical Airfix kit line has remained affordable while new product has been introduced alongside some of the older pieces. I am SO glad that Hornby acquired that brand when they did as they have given it new life.
hornby needs to break the 'train set' concept then it would be less like toys and more like models. its good to sell the HST's as two power cars and two coaches but then the coach packs so you end up with the full rake?? and hornby is handed down the generations thanks to its compatibiltiy to most other stuff coupling wise etc!!
@nickmiduck Why? A train set is a very good starting point and besides a trainset is often cheaper than a more heavilly detailed single engine on it's own as well as containing more stuff. Besides Hornby's main stream models already achieve the feeling of being more like models than toys and even trainsets with a little work can achieve just that.
Great idea and good to see who the staff are behind the company. They bring a lot of happiness to millions of people so good PR move. Scalextric and Hornby train set fan! (Airfix hobbyist at the age of 7 and they were great fun and educational models, now 56 yrs young) Don't for get the VSOE blue European train set, it will be a winner with lights and small history book etc. Best wishes to you all!

How about creating train coaches with the roof that comes off and strip lights can be fitted similar to a digital chip. : D
