eddy from devon again Hi there at 11-40 i loved the 100 mph jinty with the smoke going must be the fastest jinty in the west wonderful stuff john all the very best EDDY
Toy like mot prototypical. BUT BUT full of nostalgia and SO MUCH FUN. I got a triang teain set for Christmas 59, I was 6 I woke up and opened it in the dark. Went down and set it up in the lounge room. Lit.the gas fire because it was FREEZING. THANKS for the wonderful nostalgia
Fantastic! Your hoarding and perseverance has been well rewarded. Great collection, thanks for sharing John and keep collecting, theres lots more you haven't got yet!!!!
It's funny how much of the old Triang Railways stuff modern Hornby Railways still produces and has in their 2019 catalogue!! One can look in a 2019 catalogue and old Triang Railways catalogues, from the 1950's and 1960's, and still spot the same items. Electricity Pylons (1964). Lineside huts (1956). Gradient markers (1956). Whistle sign (1956). Water crane (1956). Black points switch lever (1955). Green isolation switch lever (1958). Lineside fencing (1958). Station platform components (1962).
I also have a fair amount of series 3 track and find it odd that Triang only produced a double track level crossing for Series 2 Standard track, but did produce a Series 3 single track level crossing.
Fantastic brings back memories. I'm also building a small (lack of room) Triang layout again using series 3 track so I can run my solid wheel deep flanges Triang stock. What size is your layout?
Spot on Dan.Great memories indeed, and given the space available, by the look of it in this video, it has been utilised well. This is typical of the good old says of course, where people had to use what they had. Like you, I'd like to know the actual size, just out of curiosity. I have quite a bit of old Triang stock that runs fine on Code 100 track, and I also have heaps of series 3 and I use that for a couple of trams that run to various spots. Series 3, even though sleepers are too far apart according to the "purists", (so what), is great from a nostalgic point of view, and I am going to use more of it. I have shunting yards with lots of series 3, looks more authentic, as many real old country yards had sleepers all over the place. The old Triang stuff is great, and was certainly built to last, be it rolling stock or plastic buildings etc. Good luck with your "new" build. Yes those "historic" wheel flanges can be an issue on some track. I ended up changing wheels on a couple of Triang locos when I had Code 75, but with the Code 100, have had very few issues. Now you have me thinking, I also have a heap of old Tri ang grey based interlocking track in great condition. Now what to do with that....haha
Takes ME back to the 60s... wonderful atmosphere you've preserved/created. I really like the double decker buses!
It's excellent and as I know from experience nothing better than using your old childhood stock...Great seeing it all come to life
