Readly are generally around a week behind the physical magazine (not just for HM) in my experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So subscribers already know if there'll be "nothing for them".🤡 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some prefer a "one stop shop" approach, rather than shopping about, and Hornby attempt to cater for that market. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern business dictates to divest stock if there's little profit, or 'loss leaders'. I agree with that in general, but SK has specifically stated in the past that he wants Hornby to be a 'one stop shop' for everbody's toy train needs, so I suspect they'll be selling track pins and bags of flock for a while yet. There's plenty of buyers out there for who the world of toy trains begins and ends with Hornby anyway, so he'll want to keep that captive market. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby Magazine is not part of Hornby Hobbies; they just grant use of the name to Key Publishing. All magazines are normally given the same embargo date. 3 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
