Hornby will be releasing a new range of Welsh Skaledale buildings that will be sold exclusively at OnTracks in Herefordshire, the closest model shop to Wales that the sales reps are able to deliver to without switching to 2ft narrow gauge..

Each model will be supplied with 3 OO scale sheep and a bag of authentic Blaenavon coal.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch

This is the name of a town in North Wales. The name translates as "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave" in Welsh, has long claimed the fame of having the longest name in the world.
