In 1951 the company Electrotren was founded by Jaime Gonzalez Forellach, at a time of economic hardship in Spain due to the Civil War and subsequent European isolationism. Jaime Gonzalez looked for a way to produce trains, but he did not have the necessary materials or the economic support to do it. This led him to look for empty tomato and olive tins, which once cleaned and processed, served as the material for his first models in stamped sheet metal. In 2004 Hornby acquired the company from its founder. For three years the Spanish company became the headquarters for operations in Europe, developing all the models and carrying out export sales.

The period of 1991 – 2006 was one of freeing up the railways. Liberalised access to the railway networks was put into action in the early 2000’s across a select few European countries.
