Hornby UK

Hornby is Britain's leading 00 gauge model railway brand, first releasing a clockwork 0 gauge train in 1920. Founded by Frank Hornby, who also created Meccano in 1907, the company has over a century of heritage blending with modern innovation. Hornby Hobbies expanded through acquisitions including Airfix (2006), Corgi (2008), and other railway brands including Lima, Rivarossi, and Scalextric. From humble beginnings when the Hornby Railway Company membership scheme attracted 12,000 members in 1928, to today's comprehensive range of locomotives, rolling stock, track, and accessories, Hornby remains synonymous with British model railways.
