Hornby Visitor Centre

[Steve M]

Hornby occasionally hold events like this - missed the last one but I should be able to get to this one.
They also announced recently that the HVC is closed for museum refurbishment in early March - just speculating, but it may also be the first step towards opening up the loco storage area (Bittern etc) to the public.

A little far for me.

I wouldn’t mind going but it’s the wrong side of London. One day perhaps. Thanks Steve.

Thanks for the heads up. I assume this is similar to the warehouse sales they used to have or not?
My birthday weekend - now there's a treat for myself

I presume so. Unfortunately the place will be full of ‘dealers’ buying in bulk before listing it all on eBay at inflated prices. (Those are the ‘sharks’ Footplate sometimes mentions. ).
Still some bargains to be had though.

They were the Sharks I was referring to Steve. Not sellers like you.
