Re: Barber/Hairdresser in pre-war coaches
Hi Bigmet, Yes, some of the early four wheel open wagons and closed vans were very crude and and seemed top heavy. This is because Triangs first goods wagons were from TRACKMASTER (1949-1951) tooling. With the different running numbers and colour changes, I have built up a collection of about thirty...

Re: Barber/Hairdresser in pre-war coaches
Thanks Bufferstop 
For those that are wondering, I am an expat (former RAF) living in Germany.
I have worked the last 25 years with the German State Railways (Deutsche Bahn).
I collect early Triang, with my main interest in the 1950s.
Cheers, Bill.

Re: Bill´s Railway World
Thanks John, gave my computer a tidy up and stumbled onto the forum link and thought,
I have not been there for a while, they will be wondering what happened.

From Triang scrap, back to life
I have been buying scrapped items and bringing them back to life on my workbench. Nothing really too difficult, but a lovely feeling smell the oil and see the sparks flying off the wheels as they run around the layout :D I have so far repaired about a half dozen, but I will start here with my 1961 T...

Re: Bill´s Railway World
Hi Forum, I have not been active on the forum for the last 18 months or so, but I have been busy with my layout. It has been an almost total rebuild and a new 4 foot by 8 foot section has been added to the existing space. This was because my son moved out to go to university and I was able to move a...

Re: 1950s and 1960s Triang Railways.
Nice to see others collecting Triang, great to see someone else using the series 3 track too. Mine is a mixture of Standard grey track, Series 3 and Super 4 track. I have just purchased the smoke oil for my 3F loco, thats me delighted :D http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f102/bodminbill/smoke%20oil_...

Re: Bill´s Railway World
Thanks for the comments.......two years ago this was just an idea, a "what if" really, laying in bed one Sunday and remembering the rolling stock I had as a youngster.

Re: Bill´s Railway World
Hi Forum, I have just realised that I have not visited the forum in a while, however I have been busy with my layout. It now has three levels, top level is Hornby 0 Guage 1933-1964, with 1 pre-war electric loco and a post-war clockwork one. The middle level has a Triang standard/series 3 track line ...

Re: Weekend at War - Full Steam Ahead!
Thanks Peter, you can not keep the uniform clean on a loco footplate!
As for Triang/hornby vintage collection, I am collecting all the things I could not afford when I was ten, but wanted.
Cheers, Bill.

Hi Phil, we did cross the border (200 yards) to visit the area where the track cuts through the Siegfried Line, westwards from Aachen. I think you are reffering to the...
