MODEL train maker Hornby has lost £200,000 from foreign exchange movements since January and expects to post a loss for the financial year. Hornby has said it is set to report £1.2m in annual losses, though its underlying business is managing to break even. The group warned in January that its profits would fall short of forecasts.
