Hornby customer service was first class

I had an unexpected Christmas surprise after I sent off my broken model locomotive to Hornby for repairs

About six years ago, I bought an OO gauge model steam locomotive from Hornby. A few weeks ago, for no obvious reason, it stopped running.

I sent it to Hornby in Margate, and received it back this week, repaired and functioning. I fully expected to pay for the repair but there was no charge. Some companies do still give excellent service. WP, Crawley

Your letter will bring a warm glow to grown-up schoolboys across the country. It is reassuring to know that there are a few companies out there who value their customers and are prepared to go the extra mile. Anyone who bought a Hornby railway set this Christmas will be delighted to read your letter. So well done to Hornby.
