Hornby N Scale

[Lb101]

Here’s one I’ve suggested before. Hornby moving into N scale As well as OO. 

People live in smaller houses these days, OO takes up space, you can fit an N scale layout on a dinner tray, I run one alongside my OO layout up in the loft on an internal door sawn in half!

they already own Arnold which is European N scale). My other half would let me run a wee n scale layout in the main house and I’m sure many many parents would buy a Christmas N scale set and especially if it was a Hornby set given people not in the hobby generally associate ’toy train sets’ with Hornby and that nostalgia element that goes with it. A great way to get youngsters and their parents into the hobby playing and making together. 

Just my opinion, I realise there are other established N scale producers in the UK and how this is a risk and how business models work etc but perhaps a toe dipped in the water (e.g basic small Christmas set) can lead to bigger things (pun intended). Perhaps one for further down the line for Hornby (pun not intended but it turned out to be one!).
