Hornby Station Halt by Hornby Hobbies

Good, happy with the item

The basic station is OK but the little press-out green fittings are tat. They don't come out cleanly and stubs are left behind when you press them out. I found that the best way to clean them up is to use a small pair of nail clippers. Also the transfer for the scales is just a smaller version of the clock, which is pure laziness on Hornby's part. And there were no Welsh or Scottish station names which is blatant racism. I also expected the waiting hall somehow clip into the holes on the platform, but there was no way I could make it fit. Anyway it is a reasonable attempt at a station halt but not up to the standard of Hornby's locos and rolling stock.

It looks OK and overall is quite a nice platform for a model railway. However, surely the station building should clip to the platform? There are holes in the platform but no corresponding lugs on the building.The curved fencing is fiddly and I haven’t yet been able to get it securely fixed to the sloping ramps. It is supposed to clip in but maybe it needs a bit of glue.A bit more effort needed from Hornby to rate it better than three stars.

This is a model railway accessory. It's decent quality but if you are a railway modeller, you would paint it according to your requirements.

Good quality and value for money

A great little station complete with shelter and railings and platform accessories.
