How did Hornby begin their model train journey?
Dating all the way back to 1901, Hornby was founded by none other than Frank Hornby himself when he received a patent for his model construction system, Meccano. However, it was a considerable 19 years later that Hornby finally produced his very first toy train propelled by a clockwork motor, kicking off the tidal wave of model railway hobbyists.Â
Since the instant success of these model trains, Hornby went on to introduce various other engines, models and accessories before producing the first electric toy train in 1925 powered by the mains electricity supply. Just four years later, the company had developed an electric model powered by a far safer six volt DC source, thrusting Hornby to new heights.
Now a household name, this British manufacturer is trusted for the high-quality of their models and incredible range that encourages model train set enthusiasts to return time and time again. Currently, their impressive ever-expanding range of Hornby trains and accessories sits at around 650 items, justifiably earning them the position of Britain's leading model railway manufacturer for over 50 years!
