NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 It's Bachmann Trains in the USA, are bringing the HO ange officially to the UK, which means places to buy them from if you live in the UK will not be limited to two UK based websites and hopefully the products will be a bit cheaper. This news does means that Hornby won't be able to get the license back though, if they wanted it in the future. GNR-Gordon-4 (HF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Perhaps Bachmann are going to produce OO versions for the UK market. Why wouldn’t Hornby be able to regain the licence in the future if they wanted to, how do you know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slornie Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Aren't Bachmann's Thomas products closer to OO in scale than HO anyway? Hopefully the updated license agreement also means Bachmann can sell their OO9 products over here as well because I'd quite like to get to get a few of those!
