History
The iconic British brand Hornby began with Frank Hornby and his passion for inventing, which led him to create educational toys for his sons. In 1901, the name 'Mechanics Made Easy' was patented and began the foundation for the Meccano company. By 1920, the Meccano Company had developed 'the finest series of clockwork railway trains ever made', and the 0 gauge series of toy railway track, clockwork locomotives, wagons, carriages and scenic accessories was born, paving the way for over 100 years of Hornby history.
