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

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

I remember watching this video way back when I began watching KZread. 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

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

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

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.

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

0:27 Guy at the store: no,I've got a sd40-2 though

Hornby do make some memorable adverts.

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

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 :).

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")

+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...

2:22 The Hornby Town

i love trains!

@aaronshagwell oh well you do know the ads have got extra track, buildings, senic covers ect?

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.

good old Hornby in the classic time

Hornby is amazing. I wish they would bring back the E2 though. Great Video!

pretty cool ads tho I would like to get that My First Hornby set

Love it

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.

1:03 I have that it's the duchess of Sutherland

the dad always helps then he takes over

i luv thamas

Even the commercial can't make emily look goog

1:50 hornby has the old slow coach

i remember when hornby was the unquestioned gods of model railways. Now its a cash cow with mabye one decent model every year

1:11 it’s Timothy and Jerome from Thomas

Check out your nearest model train show, the next time one is on.

Cool trains

@username5515 yeah but it had hornby in it

I think its the Blue Pulman train set, came with a Blue Class 47 and 3 Blue coaches, not to sure about most of the details

@Harry244ful Good for you!

1:31 who would have 100 or more trains

I had the Hornby Thomas Annie and clarabel set

2:51 THE MOMENT HE FINDS OUT HE WILL DIE!

Is there any more hobby commercials of Thomas and friend from 1985 - present?

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.
