The display has the latest LED museum lighting throughout, and fills two large wall cabinets that take up the entire far wall of Arch Four.
Key contents
In the bottom left cabinet is an example of the very first Hornby train set ever produced, the Zulu, complete with its box and practically "as new" condition. Over in the bottom right cabinet, alongside each other, are examples of the first and last Hornby electric gauge O locomotives ever made. The left-hand cabinet is packed with key examples of Hornby gauge 0, and the righthand cabinet concentrates on documenting key points in the development of the Hornby Dublo range that replaced it.
As far as we know, this is the best display of historic Hornby pieces on show anywhere in the world, and further examples of gauge 0 Hornby are also on display in the smaller Hornby Trains cabinet in Arch Three, and on the main central layout. It's really a "must-see" display for any Hornby enthusiast interested in the history of the subject.
