I wish that model trains was brought back from China and make them back to the UK, I know it would be more money but how many locos do we buy in a year what's your thoughts.

Too many, but now all are 'pre-loved' in need of a service and minor repairs.

They're already too expensive. Price if made in the UK would be far more and the company would probably go bust very quickly (IMHO)

Ten or more.
I, for one, am quite happy for non-essential items to be made wherever to keep the costs within reasonable reach of the wider population, rather than fuel an ideological experiment in isolationism.
