They were saved last year as far as I know. BUT I have a feeling they will be dead by the end of the year.

Oh bugger. I'll have Greece then.

​(I was going to select The Hermitage, a dire restaurant in Folkestone that served me rotten fish and then tasteless venison, but it appears that they also beat me to it!)

Any particular reason for Hornby? A fond part of my childhood (original and current). I'd be sad to see them go.

Same here, I commandeered my Dad's shed as a child with a train set - lucky he was into it too.

I fear they're losing ground to the digital alternatives, when you're up against the likes of this, suddenly playing with models loses all appeal. :|

I just figure that the hobby market - model trains not least -are declining fast, and being maintained by an ageing customer base.  I wouldn't want to see them go either.

Perhaps I need to play it, but I just don't understand how a virtual model could come close to the real life model.

You're probably right, but it was actually my daughters (in particular 5 year old Emily, our Thomas obsessive) that got me back into it.
