Message from Montana:

It's been another busy month at virtual Hornby HQ - there's no time for slowing down! This month we would have normally spent part of it at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany and of course in Glasgow for Model Rail Scotland, but although events are all on hold for now, it has meant we've had more time to focus on future plans, which is always exciting! Moving forward we're going to start off with a thank you….
