Tri-ang Hornby

          I can trace my interest in model railways back to one Christmas day in the mid 1960's. Santa brought me a Tri-ang 'Holiday Express' train set and from that day I was hooked. For the past 30 years I have modelled in N gauge but a chance encounter in a model shop a few years ago rekindled my interest in the Tri-ang Hornby era.

          Almost all the items on the layout, from the Super 4 track to the locomotives, rolling stock and buildings appeared in a Tri-ang Hornby catalogue between 1965 and 1972. The range was truly vast and included many ingenious operating accessories. Creating this collection has enabled me to own many of the items I longed for but could not affored on the pocket money of the time.
