Manufacturer description
Introducing the New Dublo Scale
By the 1930s Frank Hornby's '0' Gauge train system had grown considerably both in the large number of items available and in popularity but new houses were by that time being built smaller than they had been previously and consequently limiting the space available for amongst other things an '0' Gauge train layout. Consequently, such restriction on space had an influence on the sales of Hornby's '0' Gauge trains.
