2012 Toys

Hornby is the first hobby company to sign a lucrative deal to produce a huge range of London 2012 Olympic toys. The Airfix brand will produce kits of the Olympic Stadium, Scalextric will produce a velodrome cycling set (sounds fantastic, can I justify buying a set!?). The Hornby train set brand will produce miniature Olympic Park train sets.

Hornby is in need of a boost after profits plunged 32% last year.
