Andy Y Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hornby BRINGS CZECH CULTURAL SEASON TO LIFE WITH DISORIENT EXPRESS This month, Hornby has been celebrating the Czech Cultural season in Islington by partnering up with the Czech Open 2012 and donating model sized train carriages to be individually painted by a selection of talented artists. The carriages form a unique model train representing the inspiration of over 30 British and Czech emerging and established artists and are a special feature to the larger Coal & Steel exhibition taking place in The Candid Arts Trust Gallery. Each artist displaying work for the larger exhibition, has taken the time to intricately design each carriage in their unique styles. The individual and eye catching transformed carriages will be auctioned at the end of 2012 to raise money for the Islington based charity ‘Access for Sports’ working with disadvantaged young people across the borough. The Czech Open celebrates the Czech cultural season in London and is taking place during the Spring and Summer of 2012 in line with the Diamond Jubilee and London Olympics. A rich selection of programs are taking place throughout this period including activities for children and the active involvement of designers, musicians and filmmakers. The featured artists in the Coal & Steel exhibition include: Tessa Farmer, Bob & Roberta Smith, Gavin Turk, Martin Richman, Josef Bolf, David Cerny and many more. Simon Kohler, Hornby Marketing Manager comments: “It’s great to see different cultures celebrating this iconic year within British history and, as a British brand, we are delighted to provide our product to mark the occasion. The designs on the carriages are fascinating and it shows the traditional Hornby trains in a whole new light.†The exhibition runs until 28th April 2012, open daily 12pm - 6pm.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 18, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 18, 2012 The English chap doing works in our upstairs is marrying a Czech lady next week. They haven't really decided where to honeymoon yet - but my suggestion of London for this cultural event seemed to fall on deaf ears.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLD Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I thought this forum was against Czech-book modelling... The subject matter seems to be Poles apart fron the content of the rest of the Forum. Looks like someone was Hungary for publicity... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
