It can’t help that since modelzone has gone they don’t have a major presence anymore in the major shopping centres like bluewater which I regularly used when I was as college. But maybe it’s time for the model railway part to detach itself from the rest. Children still want trainsets but no one really wants a scaletrix. But if Hornby does go as I’ve said before it’ll be a lot harder to bring new blood into the hobby as if a child wants a trainset they’ll buy a Hornby one like I have with my nephew and if was to buy him a Bachmann one he would be like what is this. And for us southern modellers it’ll be lot harder for us, as we would lose our bullied’s, v class, n15 and s15 etc.
