Hornby: A Model World - Season 2

Season 2
A brand-new second series goes behind the doors at Hornby HQ to see their design process first-hand and discovers imaginative and detailed layouts created by passionate model makers up and down the country.
Britain's best loved model-making company, home to four iconic brands, Hornby, Airfix, Scalextric and Corgi, opens its doors once again to reveal how their dedicated team of designers strive to shrink a new generation of mighty machines.

The series also highlights Britain's best model layout builders, creating miniature masterpieces in lofts and sheds across the land.
