Hornby isn't the first company to outlive it's "popularity", and go out of business....... probably won't be the last one either.
OO, 1:76 scale is just about half way between HO scale, and S scale.
Hornby models predominantly European prototypes.
I'm not too surprised that in today's economy, their sales are down, they seem to have always been in a "limited use" scale, and prototype.
I still have my "Li' l Joe" B&O 0-4-0, and my "Casey Jones" 4-6-0 by Varney...... yeah, there's a name you don't see much of any more.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
