My first OO set was the prophecy of my life; forever travelling in increasingly beautiful circles, and getting nowhere in a very enjoyable way.
And that should not be thought to be a complaint (though the missus complains that she is fighting a losing battle with the current layout, as it spreads its tendrils about the home).
Sadly,despite this featuring a 1970s modeller,there's not much from his era you'll find in the range.At least I would like to thank Hornby for the 6023 King Edward II,the planned Autocoaches & the Railroad hoppers,but can we have a bit more in British Rail Corporate Blue please?
I'm from Malaysia and I've been grewing up with Hornby. My first Hornby train set was Hornby R1075 (Mixed Goods). Then, in Melbourne, I had the NRM Flying Scotsman (R2441). Hornby - The best model train company ever created for 110 years. If I was a dad, I would have played more Hornby train sets. Long Live Hornby!
I agree, my grandad used hornby, my dad used hornby and now i am using hornby - it's all been passed down through the generations, and i shall do the same - HORNBY
Wonderful

Excellent, it hits the right buttons. My first trains was the Rovex Princess Elizabeth in the early 50's and I have never looked back.
Wish I had grandsons! Mys son's do not want their daughters creating models and running trains, but the kids love it.
