Inbound this spring & early summer from Hornby...
Hornby’s new OO gauge releases arriving throughout spring and early summer offers a great selection of modern image traction, classic steam, and great-value Railroad models. Whether you’re expanding an existing layout or planning something new, there’s plenty to look forward to, but pre-ordering these new models from us is essential to guarantee delivery!
Leading the headline releases is the impressive Avanti West Coast Class 805 five-car train pack (805005), offering a contemporary high-speed addition to West Coast Main Line layouts. Alongside it comes LNER Class 91 ‘Neville Hill’ (91127), a firm favourite from the electrified East Coast Main Line era. For collectors, the Hornby Dublo DP1 Deltic (NRM Limited Edition) stands out as a striking tribute to one of Britain’s most iconic prototype locomotives.
New steam
Steam enthusiasts are particularly well served in this latest wave. New releases include multiple versions of the Class J52 0-6-0ST, alongside historic icons such as Stephenson’s Rocket.

The brilliance of Railroad
For those looking for value without sacrificing enjoyment, the Railroad range continues to expand. New Class 37s appear in striking Rail Services and British Steel liveries, with both standard and sound-fitted options available.
From just £85.00 each, these Class 37s hold great appeal for those on smaller budgets.
New rolling stock
Coaching stock and rolling stock are equally well represented.
New Railroad GWR Mk. 3 coaches provide affordable additions for contemporary passenger formations.
A Class 801/2 four-car coach pack (Railway 200 Limited Edition) allows new formations to be developed.
Collectors will also appreciate the 2026 Hornby Wagon (R60327) — a highly collectible annual release that continues the popular series.
