Ratch Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 What other Hornby brands do you collect/model? Apart from Airfix, I use Humbrol paints. I collect Corgi cars, re-acquiring ones I had. I have lots of Hornby railway stuff from the 80s/90s in my loft, but it has become neglected, as has my son's Scalextric collection. So what do you participate in?

ntpntpntp Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 You missed Arnold off the list 🙂 They're the main brand I buy from the group, with a smattering of Hornby TT:120 stuff. Humbrol paints of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony57 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 My main collection is, Tri-ang, Tri-ang Hornby and Margate made Hornby, with some China made Hornby along with Wrenn, Airfix Mainline and old OO Lima railways also a selection of Tri-ang Minic Motorway vehicals, buildings and track. OO gauge Corgii trackside, Oxford diecast EFE, and BT/Base diecast vehicals and some Corgi and Atlas OO trams and buses Have old Scalextric in storage and some micro scalextric track and cars. I have dug my old collection of HO/OO Arifix armour etc out of storage with both Airfix and Matchbox solders and Waterloo era solders I am starting back into model making as the new Hornby does not interest me like the old stuff of which I have too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marto Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Is Oxford Diecast a Hornby brand? No mention of it on Oxford's or Hornby's websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Hornby own Oxford Diecast - but the link isn’t particularly advertised, presumably due to Oxford’s ranges technically competing with Corgi’s & Hornby’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Company's House, there is one representative of Hornby on its board but the business is 75% owned by Lcd Enterprises Limited. Hornby has no links whatsoever to this business according to Company's House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony57 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The last Hornby CEO was the owner of Oxford Diecast and there was a buy out of Oxford Rail to Hornby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
