H1. Another attractive one
made from a 1950's advertisment in the 'Weekly News', a famous New Zealand
newsprint illustrated magazine. The original of course, was only in black and
white. I've added judicious colour to spice it up. It matches the Hornby 501
LNER Passenger set I had as a a boy. There is some artistic licence - a
technical
HORNBY
(Please allow time for the pictures to load..)
'error' - can you
spot it? The first person to pick it and email me wins a poster of their choice.
WON! Jointly by L.S. in the USA, and M.G. in South Australia. How is that possible? Well, LS had it nearly right.. The Answer? The reverse of the semaphore arm is normally white with a black band..
H2. The
coveted 'Princess Elizabeth',
Hornby's only 6-coupled locomotive. It requires large-radius track, and
currently sells for many hundreds of times what it cost in 1938.
H3. A particularly attractive Catalogue dated 1935. It has made an excellent poster.
H4. One of the first Hornby Box Lids, probably about 1921.
H5. The 'Hornby' version of the sought-after point-of-sale display.
H6. First edition of the 'Hornby Book of Trains', 1925. It was issued every year up until 1939, and these are now sought-after collectors items.
H7. Here's a great graphic! The original 1924 Ad was in black and white - not long after the introduction of Hornby Trains. I've added the red, and I can supply this one with the lettering in any color, (and even black) to match your desire or decor.
