My Old Triang Collection

Inspired by Nigels lovely gift of a Hornby / Triang 70th Anniversary 0-4-0 locomotive, I spent some considerable time rooting about in my attic to find a cardboard box labelled "Triang OO".



This contains the remnants of the OO layout that I had as a boy, only the locomotives, rolling stock, and a few bits of track remain. My recollection is that I spent most of my time fishing de-railed trains out of tunnels. My dad did the electrics - the switch box that controlled the points and track sections was originally the bomb-release control box from a WW2 RAF Lancaster bomber - exactly like this:





Triang R.52 Fowler class 3F 0-6-0T 'Jinty' 47606 (1955-66)
Triang R.251 Midland Railway Johnson/Deeley class 3F 43775 (1959-66)
Triang R.355 Industrial Loco 0-4-0 No.7 'Nellie' (missing her nameplates) (1961-72)
Triang R.350 Southern Railway L1 class 4-4-0 31757 (1960-67)
Airfix plastic kit Great Western Railway Prairie class 2-6-2 6167 (1964-78), kit-bashed / motorised by me following instructions in a model railway magazine, and now missing its front pony.

Triang R.383 British Railways Mk.1 Brake Coach
Triang R.422 British Railways Mk.1 Composite Coach

I also have a bunch of wagons of various kinds, maybe I'll show you those later on?
