Tri-ang Hornby Collection Model Railway

[DrMarcusKane]

Loved seeing the stock car with the giraffe ducking its head at the footbridge!! Haven't seen one of those in ages. A truly great collection there too, some of which I once had.

arrrrr! i wanna play!

[username5515]

yay a collector who plays with his trains!!! =D

I have used modern controllers to get good, consistent control of the locomotives. The automatic exchange system at the back uses magnets and reed switches to stop and start the trains.

[Jangwoofilms]

Awesome. but could I ask about the remote or controller of these engines?

[rmdeas]

Sorry, the layout and associated collection are not for sale.

[bubbachub211]

[rmdeas]

Thanks for the comments. The track plan is my own design but is available on my website. Address is at the end of the video..

[rhiwderinraytube]

Great collection! Is the track plan a published one (Triang or Hornby) or own design? Would like to copy.

2:55-3:00... I don't think I've ever heard a little kid fussing in a Brittish accent before. ..All very cool stuff you have here, but it's so clean! Looks almost brandy-new. I always used my own antiqueing techniques for realism. I always wanted my stuff to look slightly rusty, used, broken in, beaten up by regular usage, like real trains do. (Well, here in America they do, anyway.) I had mostly Tyco & Bachman HO guage, with Roco military miniatures, and a few matchbox cars...

I loved the video, it brought back memories of my old Triang Hornby railway I built up in the 1960's and early 1970's.

Most of my locos were secondhand bought from garage sales and were in very good running condition.

I only wished I had kept these and the older wagons etc., they would be worth money now for a collector.

The few locos I bought new I found were not as good as the early gear, maybe the tender drive wasn;t that good, I don't know.

Thank you for putting the video on You Tube.

Truely a magical video and system, even though i have modern Hornby now I still miss super4 track and all the lovely locos and roling stock and buildings.

What a dynamic company they were.

Thanks

@electron1100 well it all got too much, and for christmas i left a huge hint about a Traing hornby R644 intercity set i had seen on ebay, well i got it! ;-).........so since then i have sold off all my modern Hornby and have been buying Triang/hornby and am at present assembling a layout, I love it, servicing the locos and rolling stock is a pleasure, the super 4 points are a bit more fiddly but they are totally servicable..............I am very happy and am gaining far more pleasure from this
