Vintage Hornby TV Advertisements

I just bumbled over this link, I must say the advertising is both amusing and ingenious. British humor at its best.

I thought I saw this earlier and replied to it. Has it been moved?

Definitely not. Chops must have cancelled it and reposted.

Just thinking. Not surprising so many people used to like model trains.... They were all hypnotised by the first advert! :lol:
Quite a few of them must have taken ages to make, especially the one where the track and bridges etc were appearing in front of the trains.
Budget modelling in 0-16.5...

Ah, I found that post, but I though it was a comment about Nessie as I could not see any posts deleted by Chops. R-
