Manufacturer description

From Thomas the Tank Engine, to icons of progressive rock, Hornby's RailRoad range of 0-4-0 locomotives have featured many different liveries and naming conventions over the years and have become stalwarts of train sets for beginners.

Many successful model makers will now be too shy to admit that their misplaced childhood started out with the small engines that Hornby created as an experiment in mass appeal.
