Welcome to
Hornby Central

An extensive 00 Gauge model railway layout depicting the 50s steam era built by myself, Mike Dickinson and my brother Tim. Named after Hornby Station on the former ‘Little North Western’ line between Wennington and Lancaster Green Ayre and near where I lived, the layout has evolve over a period of 40 years and is now complete. We were honoured to have our railway featured in two major 6 page articles in the May 2010 and June 2023 issues of RAILWAY MODELLER.
