Announced to the public on January 9, the model railway press was given a preview of Hornby’s 2024 product launch in mid-December. Led by new Head of Brand, Martyn Weaver, the Hornby team revealed that this year will be one where ‘catching up’ is a priority.
The after-effects of the Covid pandemic on manufacturing output and transportation have led to numerous delays to products announced in 2022/3, but the coming year should be a busy one for arrivals, with revised delivery timelines revealed – see Progress Updates panel overleaf.
Martyn also acknowledged Hornby’s unique place within the hobby market, which brings with it an inherent responsibility to encourage as many new entrants to model railways as possible. To that end, the budget-friendly RailRoad range will continue to receive investment.
While the majority of 2024’s new products were contained within this January launch, Hornby will also reveal further new releases later in the year, so there’s plenty to look forward to!
