This Is One Of The First Hornby Trains Ever Made | Antiques Roadshow

Beautiful old 1920s Hornby toy train set. 🚂

[@jolla9963]

A little piece history, that's priceless.

[@burnz7690]

My brother had one and my mother swapped it for some old bottles for her collection 😊

[@caz3502]

I presented my 11 year old grandson with his Great grandfathers hornby train and tender given to his father in 1934. I remember my dad showing me the train and its been stored away ever since. Then I found some 00 guage tracks and my grandson got it going. Hes chuffed to bits with it.

I swear I had one just like that when I was younger

[@robertbutlin3708]

You can tell it’s early by the GN (Great Northern) Railway wagon. The GN got absorbed into the LNER IN 1923.

[@seaturtledog]

But that does not help date a toy train as they make versions or older actual trains even today.

[@robertbutlin3708]

@@seaturtledog Mmm. Good Point.

[@althejazzman]

@@seaturtledog But back then a trainset was made to reflect current trains. Railway modelling didn't become a hobby for adults until the nostalgia of steam railways set in.

I got an old train set cheap once, end of line sale!

OOH, Hilary!

£400? You can get one celebrating the Queen for that much.

Yes I've seen the review, £400! Cheep tacky looking and not worth a quarter of the price. Bet they dont sell many. Its an insult to the late Queen!

I miss shoulder pads. 🤗

Will they support my weight if I sat on her shoulders?

[@SquidzitAce]

@@australiantrains8988 You'll be happy to know that they would support you and a locomotive. Now excuse me, but I have to get back watching Virtual Railfan. ☺

[@User-3O3]

Be worth a lot more than that now.

[@LiterallyMark1]

£400 then would be worth a lot more than it is now

[@MarkCarne-hu5xw]

Actually, it's worth less now, the value of Hornby O gauge peeked in the early 1990s, and has declined since, declined considerably in the last 10 to 15 years, as many collectors have passed away, and many collections have come on the market, and less people take up collecting these sort of old toy trains.

I'd like her to come round my house & value my locomotive. 👍

I bet she's chuffed

[@MickCampin-jp9kb]

It's only Hornby by name but as the expert said made by Meccano

[@-_James_-]

Meccano was created by Frank Hornby.
