Hi Guys

I thought this might be of interest I'm not sure if it will feature any 009 items but at least the building will be to the same scale lol

STOP PRESS! 'Hornby: A Model World' will be coming to your TV screens on Monday 11th October at 9pm on Yesterday Channel, as the first episode of the ten-part series goes live!

The new UKTV Original series features behind the scenes action at Hornby HQ, of what goes into making Hornby, Airfix, Scalextric and Corgi models.

This is a series not to be missed! Mark your diaries and set record on your TV! 🤩.

Thanks
Alan

I agree it's a great series, though I'd happily watch a train running around an oval for an hour in preference to any "reality" show!

I realise it's outside the scope of the series, but it's a bit frustrating that we have never seen the work undertaken in the factories in the Far East, which is half the effort required to get a model onto the shelves of a shop in the UK.  I suppose even if that was planned, Covid travel restrictions put paid to visits to China.
