Warbonnet Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Currently in administration. But then lots of companies do it to get cheaper rent etc. and come out the other side. HMV being one high profile example. Modelzone and the signal box have been linked for some years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Train model Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I was in the one in Chester this day two weeks ago even at half price they were expensive and the stock was nearly all hornby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I was in the one in Chester this day two weeks ago even at half price they were expensive and the stock was nearly all hornby Well said. Only the other day the new CEO of Hornby was waxing lyrical about their homegrown distribution partners, and today Hornby are trying to make out they were "aware of the limited resources available to Modelzone and their ongoing restructuring" or some other arse covering nonsense, and how they were "mitigating their exposure should the worst happen" so it's no surprise their stock will be at max price. If not sold, it's straight back to margate, unlike the rest, which will go for a song to keep the liquidators happy. A sorry corporate mess that will have further consequences methinks. R.

Warbonnet Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Wonder if this will make my Modelzone limited editions even more valuable? They did some nice ones over the years... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
