Tri-ang
While I’m a fan of just about anything model railway related, I have a soft-spot of Triang rolling stock.
I grew up with Rovex Triang OO gauge trains and they were amongst my first trains. I still have quite a few of my original wagons and engines and now collect Triang trains and the Triang factory in Merton will be a key feature of my Wandle Valley layout.
Sadly, Tri-ang as a company no longer exists (although the brand is owned by Hornby) but in their time they pretty much made what model trains are today, certainly in the UK (I’ve collated a potted history of Triang if you’d like to know more).

If you’re looking for more information on these vintage trains, take a look at one of the pages on my Tri-ang Links and Resources page.
Lastly, if you have any Triang rolling stock you’d like to go a good home get in touch. I’m also particularly interested in old Tri-ang posters and promotional material. If you have any original adverts, packaging or leaflets please get in touch.
