Hobby shops and model enthusiasts looking for Hornby products now have a new go-to source in the United States. As Hornby Hobbies winds down operations at its warehouse in Lakewood, Washington, Heartland Hobby Wholesale has stepped in, purchasing a large portion of Hornby’s US inventory, including Airfix, Rivarossi, and some Scalextric items, and bringing it back to Nebraska.

This acquisition adds over 18,000 Airfix automotive and military model kits and approximately 6,500 Rivarossi locomotives and rolling stock to Heartland Hobby’s inventory.

“Within a few semi-trailer deliveries, we’ve added 18,000 pieces of Airfix automotive and military model kits, and about 6,500 pieces of Rivarossi locomotives and rolling stock to offer to our dealers,” said Trevor Harm, business development specialist with Heartland. “These are new lines for us, and we are energized to be able to offer them at great prices.”

For stores or collectors searching for Airfix kits, Rivarossi trains, or other Hornby products, Heartland Hobby Wholesale is now a primary source for quality products and bulk inventory in the United States.
