		The name “Hornby” has been associated with model railways for many decades, from O gauge tinplate in the 1940’s through the three-rail Hornby Dublo range in the 50’s, its incarnation as “Triang Hornby” in the 60,s, the firm has always been the UK’s first choice when it came to OO gauge model railways.
		Hornby have produced three variants, GW green with a 3000 gallon tender and the “shirt button” roundel, BR unlined fl with a 3500 gallon tender and the early “cycling lion” totem and a BR green example with a 4000 gallon tender and late totem.
		Hornby’s example is unrecognisable compared to their old effort (now, thankfully, consigned to the “Thomas” range!) and is fitted with opening cab doors, a sliding roof vent, a full cab interior and masses of neat detail such as sand-pipes, air pipes and lamp brackets.

	Hornby History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hornby Trains were powered by a high quality clockwork motor, made of metal pressings held together by Meccano nuts and bolts, and ‘0’ gauge in size.
		Hornby Dublo and Tri-ang Railways rivalled each other during the early 1950s and following the acquisition in 1964 of Meccano Ltd by Lines Brothers (the parent company of Tri-ang Railways), the companies were merged in 1965 to become Tri-ang Hornby.
		The Tri-ang Hornby period is best remembered by many for the change to British Rail blue liveries on diesel locomotives, the introduction of pre-Nationalisation liveries for steam locomotives and the launch of Battle Space and Battle Zone.

	Hornby (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hornby is a household name and is now famous as the UK brand leader in the field of Model Railways.
		The name originates from Frank Hornby (1863-1936) who invented the Meccano construction toys, and in 1901 formed a company called Meccano Ltd. In 1920 this company developed the first Hornby train which was produced in metal and powered by clockwork.
		In 1964 the model railway manufacturers were experiencing a severe recession, and this led to the take over of Meccano Ltd by Lines Bros Ltd. Lines Bros then merged their own Tri-ang Railways and the Meccano Hornby range and it was renamed Tri-ang Hornby.
