Hornby were making Gauge O tinplate trains between 1920 and 1962 - production stopped as many people didn't have the space for an O scale layout due to smaller post-war houses. Hornby-Dublo (OO scale trains) production started in 1938 and finished in 1964, when Hornby were taken over by Lines Brothers LTD. who already owned the Tri-ang railway system (This company later became the modern-day Hornby, though they only used one or two of the original Hornby models in their new range). Most of the Dublo tooling passed to Wrenn Railways and later to Dapol, who now produce wagons from original Dublo moulds dating back to the 1950s. As I understand it, there is now a new company which has bought the Wrenn name and some of the moulds, and intends to restart production on a small scale, though I'm unsure of the name. <br /> <br />
