Why we love the Hornby RailRoad range

We're about to welcome a whole fleet of RailRoad models into our Hornby warehouse, including a Colas Class 66, a Rail Services Class 37, a British Steel Class 37, some Mk3 Coaches and a BR FFA Container Wagon. These OO gauge models make a striking impact on any layout and are sure to be a hit with modellers new and experienced.

Our RailRoad range features some of our most popular products, offering an accessible entry point to the world of model railways. These models are more durable than our standard range, with fewer finely detailed features, but still with plenty of attention so you can build an authentic railway layout.

There are lots of reasons to love this range. Here are the main reasons we do.

This is our most affordable range

Our RailRoad range challenges us to find more affordable ways to present the most in-demand locomotives, while still ensuring detailed, authentic designs that faithfully replicate the original vehicle. Whether you want to build a model railway layout on a budget or you want to test out the hobby before committing to it.

This is our most durable range

Without any fiddly detail, the RailRoad range is a much safer option for little fingers or nervous beginners. These tough designs will withstand a little more tough love that some of our more intricate models. This also means they are perfect for newbie modellers when they are learning the ropes, as you can create and run trains without fear of pushing too hard.

This is our most recognisable range

As an entry level product, our RailRoad range represents some of the most famous model railway designs. Want to start your collection with a Flying Scotsman? (Of course you do – everybody does!) Our RailRoad replica is a perfect choice, bringing that famous locomotive to your model railway layout.

It easily integrates with our standard OO range

Once you become more confident in your model railway handling, you can incorporate some of our standard OO models into your collection. These RailRoad models look fantastic next to our more detailed designs, and only the most distinguished of hobbyists will be able to tell the difference, allowing you expand your model world your way.

It is a great value option for every modeller

While we aim these models at beginner railway hobbyists, they really do work for everyone. They are great for those wanting to build a layout with children, perfect as gifts for enthusiastic family members, and ideal for anyone who wants to run their railway without fuss.

And even more experienced modellers, who have created a whole model railway world based on our standard range of OO gauge models, can still appreciate the value of the Hornby RailRoad range. If there’s a model that suits your layout, there’s no reason not to add it to your collection.

So, if you’ve been eyeing up our RailRoad models, but you’ve been unsure about whether or not the range is for you, now’s the time to take a look. This is one of our fastest growing ranges, bringing model railway joy to every kind of modeller.
