Big News: Hornby sell Scalextric for £20m
#17

I think sadly Hornby were backed into a corner of their own making, and probably although drastic this sounds like the brand stands a reasonable chance of being strongly supported and rejuvenated commercially.
I agree it is sad that the iconic name is no longer owned by a British Company, but in reality the value of the business in regards to British manufacturing jobs was lost many years ago. I kinda hope that the brand maintains its diversity of models, and some more American Classic cars would appeal to me. It would be nice to see a more Trans Am, NASCARS, Indy and Can Am cars that have not been done before.

I would expect to see a reduction of the number of car listings which is probably not sustainable, and I would expect that the current 2026 catalog cars might be curtailed to save some costs.
