Hornby Adverts compilation 

RIP Bernard Cribbins legend. Gone but not forgotten.

Those Hornby adverts were my childhood dream! My grandparents got me an old Triang set in the 70s (still have it and it still works) but I loved the "nothing goes like it, nothing grows like it" ads, and Bernard Cribbins. Could only afford a few things each year from our local hobby shop but the experience was magic. Even have my original Hornby Thomas the Tank Engine ( bought it when I was in High school) as I loved reading the railway series as a kid. Nowadays kids just demand everything at once, there's no patience and sence of earning something or reward! Pity!

God bless Bernie cribbins you my friend are sadly missed

6:57 7:17 7:27 I remember watching Hornby Thomas commercials back in the old days on RU-vid

I imaging the dad at the end screaming "It's the wrong kind!!"

R.I.P. Cat from the ads. He along with his owner will never be forgotten.

The “Nothing Grows Like It” ad is a banger, Hornby knew what they were doing back then

Even today I still always look for an R186 signal box.

The good old days, my childhood come back. I need you now.

1:23 Quality CGI! 🤣

a friend of my mum got me a hornby flying scotsman set when I was in 3rd grade and I still have it today!

Brings back some memories I remembered the hornby tune but not the advert, nice one thanks for sharing

so many memories of my first hornby set

6:56-7:16 I remember this ad!😁

R.I.P. Bernard Cribbins...

Rip Benard. 😥

We honestly need more fun commercials like the "I'm Hornby Sized" ones. Put the people into the perspective of who we think about while playing with our model trains. Old, young, black, white, man, woman, doesn't matter, all types, shapes, and sizes can love trains, and these kinds of commercials really put you into the action. Guarantee it'd look a hell of a lot better too with this modern age of technology. Better green screening, maybe even some VR stuff, make it look real. "Here I am standing next to the Flying Scotsman! (Looks up) Oh wait, that's not the REAL Flying Scotsman, that's just Hornby's new retooled and remodeled Scotsman, now with realistic steam effects and sounds. Just a dash of smoke fluid into the stack, turn 'er on, and watch the puffs of smoke billow from the stack and hiss out of the cylinders. Pre-Order now and get a complimentary documentary DVD free with every purchase, alongside a brochure detailing the life of the Flying Scotsman if pictures aren't your thing."

These adverts were great

All I ever wanted for Birthday and Christmas is heritage train rides and model train sets

Wow.

5:19 is my favorite one

4:19

9:59 is da best

Did you see Smokey Joe?

Bernard cribbins?

Just pray the operators surname isn't Addams...

Which is better? Hornby or Bachman?

shame hornby have put the price of train hobbying these days beyond ridiculous! the inital train set is reasonable but after that you will need to re mortgage your house!

i wish i ha hornby, but if i had an ho model layout id need to get bachmann
