WHATS NEW

Due to the hot weather recently it has been almost impossible to update the website. I am up in the attic in swim wear and a towel around my neck.

The Silver King Train Set EDP15 was released in August 1956 and featured a matt version of an A4 Pacific. The first three minutes show the locomotive and its coaches running on my layout, follow by a discription of the train set.

Back after a short break, updates will start again soon.

Hornby Dublo leaflet from train srts sold in the 1950s.

Hornby Acho 1965-66 catalogue added, written in French, the catalogue contains many Hornby Dublo and Triang items exported to France in the 1960s.

Photo added to R14 Fish Van "Database", When I wrote the article I only had a later variant of the wagon, however, during a recent trip to the UK I was able to purchase a wagon made in 1954

I went over to the UK and spent a week looking at the model railway shop in Plymouth and Tavistock market, plus a few items sent to my sisters address and a lovely Hornby Dublo train srt from 1956.

Newly added to the Triang database under TOPICS

R18 added to my Triang wagon database under "TOPICS"

How a few extra tenders can create a few variants in the loco liveries.
