Over 50 years of Hornby

Hornby had been producing Model trains since 1920 and in 1938 the "Hornby Dublo" range was launched.
"Tri-ang" started producing electric and clockwork toy train sets in Britain in 1950
"Tri-ang - Hornby" emerged in 1965 from the purchase of "Hornby Dublo" by "Tri-ang".
In 1971 "Tri-ang -Hornby" was sold and became "Hornby".
