Hornby ads

a selection of old and new hornby adverts

[@phoenixwolf15kamsieneda73]

Love all these. These are more than hobby’s these are lifetimes journey. Happy 100th anniversary Hornsby. I love all international models.

[@youknowwhatelseismassive-p9h]

Isn't it about 70? I thought it started I 1954

[@AKASnowballs]

I remember watching this video way back when I began watching KZbin. I feel like this kickstarted my love for Hornby model trains, it's something I absolutely love looking into. Rewatched these adverts again just now, really nostalgic

[@corydelaplain6980]

I just somehow found this on my homefeed and hearly had a heart attack when I heard the first 3 seconds of the video. Also HOW DID I FIND YOU HERE (im CoryDingus fgjjdflslk)

[@flashstudiosguy]

OMG! I GOT THE THOMAS AND BERTIE SET WHEN I WAS A KID! SUCH HAPPY MEMORIES!

[@flashstudiosguy]

@ASBR-HK Sadly, I have no idea; perhaps it was sold, perhaps it was trashed,I may never know...

[@BluefireSorcererOfficial]

I just got mine from a charity shop for £4.99 thomas's dome wont stay on & I will build the set soon & expand on it

[@BeastyBill88]

Ah so many memories, I still have all of my hornby and other model train stuff in my cupboard. Might have to dig it out and see if it still works, its been about 10 years or so.

[@shajiprabhakaran2751]

For the last like 5 years this has been recommended at least 1000 times

[@eddiej1980]

No one has posted the best ever Hornby ad. It was out around 1988. It started of a slow beat and included the flying Scotsman. I’m sure it ended up with trains going fast and a guy saying “stations and stations and stations...” can’t find it anywhere but will prob have it on VHS somewhere

[@DrasticFox2004]

3:39 “The best Hornby set ever!”

[@marcelsmodels]

So true, so true.

[@DrasticFox2004]

I Love Of How Some Of The Ads Have My Favorite Kids TV Show (Thomas & Friends) In It.

[@snowypep1685]

Nostalgia time: So I used to rewatch this video all the time when I first found it. I was so interested in the models, especially the Thomas ones, as I've never seen anything like them before. After that day I always wanted to get my hands on some of those models, and so far I have 1 Thomas. This video sure did bring back some memories

[@mpg01]

If you remember this video, you deserve a veteran's discount.

Dammit, this is the first time I’ve ever watched this video 😭

[@penninefilms4714]

Hornby do make some memorable adverts.

[@Benji_transport_vids]

This video is still a classic to look back at every once in a while!

[@harrisonallen651]

2:02 that Thomas commercial is quite rare, other than this video I can’t find another commercial like this!

[@pikachuthebananasplit9061]

does anyone remeber watching this when they were kids

[@arielfilmsinc1926]

Great Ads! Congrats from cross the pond Lat good Train ad I saw was for now efunct Hills stores

[@BritishRail60062]

My first train set in 1986 was a Lima Class 43 HST in Intercity Executive livery although my first Hornby set was the Midnight Freight that had the BR Class 58 that I got for my birthday in 1988. Happy Days :).

[@DENPTrains]

Nice story of how an amazing channel first was born

[@BritishRail60062]

Thank you ;).

[@cowpoke1873]

My first was in 2013, it was a thomas set

[@janetplanet4595]

OMG I remember the thomas and bertie set!! I got that when I was just a little tomboy! Then I got a santa fe circle set. I picked up a red caboose at the red caboose motel in PA, Then I got a christmas set from a supermarket, and then I discovered model train shops and now I'm building up my own empire, with over 40 locomotives thus far

[@iplayoldgames_]

I think the first one was for YellowPages*.

[@loucarroll7284]

+RCgaming01 we have yellowpages now

[@ylwpyro9549]

True, but at least it was still sort of related to Hornby.

[@iplayoldgames_]

yeah I guess

[@yardlet6]

Viz comic did a parody of this and that guy isn't J.R. Hartley.

[@darthcreaper8173]

Actually, I think it was a combination of hornby and YellowPages.

[@JoseFernandez-cd7ew]

Living in Chile and owning hornby is so complicated... but I can enjoy mos of the products ❤

[@theburpman8006]

[@Grithron2]

It's what the big kids want to play with, no matter how big they are.. Nice to hear the R L Stevenson-inspired poem again. It's just a pity the most unforgettable of all Hornby ads ISN'T here ("nothing goes like it, nothing grows like it")

[@SprattyHeath]

+Grithron2 Well tbh nowadays you don't really see kids playing with Trains or "toy trains" anymore since the Technology of Ipads and Laptops and all that stuff has drove kids away from it. It's a shame that future kids are gonna have their faces stuck on a screen. But I do use my laptop a lot...

[@TrailerguyGotStolen]

I wish modern ads had the charm that these did

[@squig8721]

Just on of these commercials had more effort put into it than the entirety of modern Thomas toys

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Hornby don't make Thomas & Friends models any more. But fear not. The new Bachmann range of Thomas & Friends models is on its way to a model shop near you. Rails of Sheffield have got them right now, with other model shops to follow suit. Bachmann Thomas & Friends models are just like their TV show counterparts, and they're on my shopping list. Put them on yours today and you'll eventually have a model railway full of fun and mischief. It's too good to miss.

[@SwindellSteamWorks]

That would probably be good for some trains. Train sets would be good, ones meant to look like their real siblings and ones styled after TV, i.e., Thomas, The Polar Express. I think these manufacturers are doing good, but I don't think they are doing enough. I mean, besides catalogs, and some of those cards with those limited editions, do some ads on TV, magazines, and etc. Model railroading is a great hobby.

[@soulbabe79]

good old Hornby in the classic time

Weird, here in a America, the last model train commercial was aired in the....either the 60's, 70's or even the 80's. That was a LIONEL commercial. Lionel and any other manufacturer of American trains haven't done another commercial.

How the fuck does a kid save enough money in a piggy bank to afford a model train?

He was probably saving up the money for a long time.

It was a signal box not a train

[@thomashambly3718]

Alex Paulsen birthday, or Christmas cards

[@The_BaconGuy]

Its easy i bet a kid can get 30 pounds. Its not the best train ever but its a train

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

A pity Hornby never imported the Annie and Clarabel from the battery-powered set to the regular range. They're a better representation of at least the TV versions than both Hornby's standard 4-wheeler _and_ the Bachmann models, and since they're longer they'd look better behind Hornby's Thomas.
