Web page by Nigel
It is not the intention of this page to provide a
history of Tri-ang railways or information on the models as a search on the internet
will produce no end of results as Tri-ang railways information. This page is
to share some of the enjoyment I still have in running Tri-ang
Model Railways. I
can almost remember when Dad brought home this first Tri-ang model
of Australia's Victorian Railways B Class GM loco in 1971.
Tri-ang
Model of New Zealand Govt Railways built WAB 794 Pacific seen here pulling
a rake of stock wagons and the real locomotive photo courtesy of the
Feilding Steam and Rail.
Old
Tri-ang engines just keep going, kept maintained and with a good power
supply they will happily pull a good size rake of coaches or
wagons. I
can run a double header, say twin VR diesels, with up to 10 stock wagons
or blue transcontinental coaches with no
problems. In
comparison to modern model railways which use locomotives featuring
greatly improved pulling power coupled to stock with a very light draw bar
pull, these old loco's really sound like they are doing some work which
coupled to the sound of the rolling stock bouncing and clicking over the
rail joints really adds to the pleasure of operating these old trains,
needless to say the kids (of all ages) love them as
well.
