HORNBY HOLIDAY CHALLENGE GETS OFF TO A FLYING START

It seems that holiday time is model railway building time, according to Hornby, and its recently-launched Summertime Layout Challenge is proving very popular. The competition challenges modellers to build a summer-themed layout. Entries are being judged by Pete Waterman OBE and celebrity mechanical maestro, Fuzz Townsend who will view all layout entry images, with their top three from each category going to a social media vote.

Hornby’s Jaimie Gilham, said, “We have had a fantastic response to the #HornbyHoliday Summertime Layout Challenge since launching it and can’t wait to see what participants have come up with! Mike Day (also of Hornby) has been busy creating his version of a summertime layout to help give people inspiration and creative layout tips. The next few months are looking to be filled with lots of exciting layout builds and we look forward to sharing them with our judges. The winner from each category will win a whopping £1000 worth of Hornby products, too, so it’s definitely worth considering entering.”
