At the height of manufacturing in the 70s Hornby had 2000+ employees. This number fell dramatically in the 80s to something like 300 which it remained at, give or take until manufacturing ceased on the Margate site in 2000.

@warrenpark5516 3 года назад

Great to see the old factory and where it all began, Mr Kohler you are a true gentleman, I can see the passion that you have for the company and the hobby, Thankyou

@DJ_K666 Год назад

I noticed the 4 Sub in there. I remember seeing that speeding through Haassocks station in the early 90s. It hung aroundin the sidings at Brighton, sometime around 1991 or 92. Certainly in NSE days.

@30742Charters 3 года назад

Fabulous tour of the factory and many thanks to Simon Kohler. One day hopefully production can return . Really good to see Tony's trains featured too

@Calvertfilm 3 года назад

Fascinating video. I don't normally watch videos this long on RU-vid but I did today. So nice to follow Simon around the factory with Richard - thanks for that. Really nice to hear Lyndon, Montana and Mike speak about what a nice bunch of people work there. I am pleased to say I know then all, and I have displayed in that very building, so memories for me even too, and I'm just a newbie. Fred I met at Warley and they are deserved winners - well done chaps. Hope AIMREC works out. Thanks guys for making this video - very, very interesting. Laurie.

@ausfoodgarden 3 года назад

Simon Kohler really does have that place running through his veins. Great video guys! 👍

@hornbymag 3 года назад

That's why hes known as Mr Hornby

@leilacentral1883 3 года назад

How times have changed. Really liked the history tour where Simon explained where items once were. History everywhere. Some lovely looking locomotives. Even watching Simon stop and look around you can tell the place and the locomotives are a big part of his life. This was a really touching video and I was captured throughout. All the best, Clint

@jimhoffmann5175 3 года назад

I could not finish watching his tour. His descriptions of all the work that used to be done in those vast spaces was too depressing. Thoughts of all the people who spent years there only to watch their jobs head overseas.

@RightWing1 3 года назад

The front of that building was exactly like the front of the Engineering company where I started my apprenticeship back in 1980, that went to the wall in 1986 due to competition from Japan and Italy. We had 2000 employees when I was taken on and gone, so looking at the empty building brought back memories of that. Its decimation of British industry to the benefit of China, and look what they have done with this virus, decimated Europe and the UK economy even more, so sorry to say I am not really a fan of China and us continually funding work there.

@bazza3643 3 года назад

I would like to thank Simon Kohler for his very informative tour of the old Hornby factory in Margate, sad to see the emptiness of the factory, perhaps in future years the international situations might change and models will again be made back in the factory made local people. This is the first time that I have learned about the 12 inch to the ft locomotives and rolling stock collection stored in the Hornby factory. Is this an over flow from the NRM or the start of another railway collection ? I owned a hobby shop called Platform 1 in Napier, New Zealand for many years, and I first meet Simon at the annual International Toy Fairs, twice in Melbourne, Australia, demonstrating Hornby's then new OO live steam locomotives, then later at Nuremberg. . Good to see Simon fit and well and still full of enthusiasm for our hobby. I have run my 18.83 mm gauge model rail for the past 15 to 20 years using one of Lenz first DCC control units and decoders, but I would have loved to have had a live steam Merchant Navy or King Arthur class locomotive pulling a rake of RIchard Maunsell coaches, but in those early days Hornby Live Steam and Lenz DCC were not compatible, so what did happen to Hornby's OO Live steam locomotives system ? Best Regards Barry Davis

Just found Hornby Magazine's actual magazine after finding your channel on RU-vid. Gotta say that it is one of the most quality and informative modelling magazines I've ever read. So much information for a good price! Just starting on a new model railway myself, so got a years subscription, and the tutorials really give you a lot of confidence. Keep doing what you do.

@hornbymag 3 года назад

@MrDavidfball 3 года назад

Simon, you've turn Hornby around but with everything that's been happening do you think it maybe time to bring production home to the UK, I'm sure the people surrounding the factory would love the jobs and income.

@quarryfield 3 года назад

Great video and very enjoyable, thank you.

@Mattslade6024 3 года назад

fab Centenary Special. Was good having a tour of the old Hornby factory. Nice to see my class 66 put to good use on the layout as well!!

@hornbymag 3 года назад

Thanks Matt! You're 66 has made a fantastic addition this month!

@JURASSICDIVERUK 3 года назад

I have always said it and I will say it again. If Hornby did the (Hornsby Size) TV commercial again, it would inspire a whole new generation of customers! The old factory floor would be awesome as the UK version of Miniatur Wunderland really showcasing the wonderful world of model railways, Hornby products, a great source of revenue and advertising.

@MarmiteCrumpets 3 года назад

I'm of an age where I always relate Margate (Westwood) to Triang. Hornby however you try to dilute the originality, belongs to Liverpool.

@James-Akers 3 года назад

Brilliant video as ever guys. I forgot the 1:1 collection had a Deltic nice to see it back amongst the fleet. I've only purchased two of the Hornby diecast vehicles (the Fordson tractor and grey van) and I'm really impressed with them, now debating whether to order Evening Star if theres still any available. Keep up the good work and stay safe James P.s many thanks for including my email in the reader memories of Hornby 🤝

@paulpilkington1797 3 года назад

Have literally hundreds of Hornby products and the coaching stock from the last 15 years has been at times outstanding. The locos are a bit hit and miss but my favourite over my 50 years of modelling is the Black 5. Had the original in the 70s and now have several newer versions. Would love a new tooling one soon

@hornbymag 3 года назад

@kamrupexpress 3 года назад

Why has Hornby not thought ever of making scale models of Indian Railways. The railman community in India has increased for the past years and there is a huge demand for models. Hornby India would be a great idea, I would be among its first buyers.

@MalcolmCrabbe 3 года назад

1:03:00 - Times are hard at Hornby, they can only afford one microphone between three people :) - On a serious note, this was very interesting. Its a shame to see so much factory floor space going to waste, and that economics resulted in production moving to China... with the loss of those 2000 employees. But there are not many model / toy businesses still trading for a 100 years, so well done Hornby

@bentullett6068 3 года назад

Its hornby magazine and isn't technically linked to hornby itself, they only use the hornby name for the magazine

@jackdripper5675 3 года назад

Well, Marklin Trix are older, have an annual turnover 3 times that of the Hornby group, turn a small profit, and still make most of their stuff in Europe.

@hornbymag 3 года назад

It is sad but also a happy memory that should be remebered and celebrated.

@bentullett6068 3 года назад

The men in suits with pointed shoes took over businesses in the 1990's onwards and decided it would be best to build in cheaper labour countries to save money. It's still happening with now with other British companies, Land Rover now build the new Defender in Slovakia and not at the original home of the original Defender and Series Land Rovers in Solihull because of cheaper labour.

@robinforrest7680 3 года назад

Weren't there plans a few years ago to shift some production back to Margate? Or was it just wishful thinking?

@bentullett6068 3 года назад

@@robinforrest7680 I know Dapol are planning to move some of their wagon production back to the UK next year. Maybe other manufacturers will start moving production back the UK or Europe if politics escalate between China's government?

Sorry to be rude, but as an outsider the Brits must be mad.

@hythekent 3 года назад

Well, every company will ‘trade off’ its name. But right now Hornby is actually ‘trading off’ its customer base appreciating the high quality of the product.
