Triang/Hornby HO/OO

[Anonymous]

Hi
I am new to here and new to Canada [:)], located Winnipeg, MB[:D]. I am interested to meet or hear from anyone running a Triang-Hornby system from the 60's and 70's. I have a large collection of stock which is based on Super4 track.
I am always on the lookout for more and have some stuff to move on. I am also looking for Hammant Morgan Duette power units, in proven working order[?].

If you are a Triang buff and live anywhere near central Canada give me a shout[;)].

Cheers

Hi,
I too am a Tri-ang guy. I live in Langenburg, Saskatchewan, which is really, really close to the Manitoba border. It's about a 4 hour drive from Winnipeg. I actually collect all kinds of trains, but do have a great deal of Tri-ang. I have a small (about 4x10 feet) layout that for my Tri-ang and more Tri-ang items displayed on shelves. I have all the track, trains, etc. set up on that layout, but still need to do a little bit of work to get it all running perfectly. I actually am only 16 years old right now, but despite my age I have quite a large collection. The majority of my Tri-ang is Canadian and Transcontinental items, but I also have a Jinty and some British rolling stock. I've managed to pick up a lot of my Tri-ang items quite cheaply. I've found many items at places such as antique shops and simmilar places. Ebay has also been a good source. A very large portion of my Tri-ang items have come from two very large lots of Tri-ang bought on ebay at very low prices. I'm always on the look out for new additions to my collection. It's a shame you hadn't posted this earlier. My family went on a trip to Winnipeg in early July. It would be very nice to meet a fellow Tri-ang collector. If I go to Winnipeg again sometime I'll let you know. If you ever are in my area I'd be happy to show you my trains.
Regards, Mitchell

Hi Mitchell
I am glad to hear from you. I am a dad with 4 kids, a Christian Pastor too. My kids are 18, 6,3 & 2! 3 boys and a girl.
If you ever have anything to sell please let me know. If you are interested in buying and have a `hit list' let me know too. [e-mail]

Nice to hear from you

Hi Ian,
It's been nice to hear from you. It's also nice to know that you're a pastor. It seems that there are a great number of clergy who are interested in trains. My family is Lutheran. I'm an only child.

As for items that I would sell I do have a CP Rail Banff dome observation car in very good condition as well as some frieght cars that are in varied conditions, some of which I've had to take parts from in order to rapair other items. I also have a tender, gondola car and caboose from a 1960's TN Japanese made train set that are compatible with Tri-ang. I also have a friend that has some Minix cars he'd sell (the kind that are hauled on Tri-ang auto-carriers). He once did have a large amount of Tri-ang, but sold it all before I met him. He's a bit of a scatter brain and put the cars on the roads in his large HO layout and forgot about them when he sold his Tri-ang.

I'd be interested in buying just about anything that I don't already have. I would like to get more Biritsh items, since they are a lot harder to find in this country. Some items I do need to complete sets are the passenger cars for the Davy Crocket set and and a powered R250 double-ended diesel. I'm also missing the activation devices for the operating mail and hopper cars. But like I say, I'll buy just about anything I don't have. If you want to do some dealing it would probably be best to e-mail me at [e-mail]

Greetings all!
I'm located just outside Toronto (Hisses and boos all round) and there are a few organizations you should know about.
British Railway Modellers of North America
http://home.ca.inter.net/~brmna/index.html
The Platelayers
http://www.theplatelayers.org/
Both cater to the British side of modelling, but we have Triang enthusiasts.
The Platelayers sponsor the Great Briti***rain Show every second year. (even years) and at the last 2 shows we had Triang layouts (one OO, the next TT).
BRMNA has members across Canada and the USA, and most of the larger cities have local groups.

[?][?][?][?][?]I've been chking out british RR mags and keep running into the term "OUTLINE MODEL". Now I know that British loco's are devoid of most of the detail that you see on loco's anywhere else in the world, but exactly what is meant by the this term[?][?][?][?][?]

I think you'll find that it comes in the phrase "British outline model" which means that it looks like a British locomotive, as opposed to a "German outline" or "American outline".
I'll trade you this info for an explanation of "the usual disclaimer"!

It's good to see some British Outline modellers on the other side of the 'pond. I model both British outline (North Eastern Railway in 1917-18 to be precise) and 1990's American outline, although i'm still very much a novice.

I come into contact with a several traders who sell Triang Hornby, when my layout gets invited to shows in England - most recently York at Easter, and also get to see local shows - Redcar tomorrow - where there is usually a good selection of Triang. get in touch if you have any must-haves and i will keep an eye open, but bear in mind the postage.

Well since, we've established that the term OUTLINE MODEL, comes from the term BRITISH OUTLINE MODELS or MODELING, then I guess we yanks should disclaim any claim to the claim that our OUTLINE MODELS can claim to be better than BRITISH OUTLINE models or GERMAN OUTLINE MODELS which claim to be the best of the best at least in England or Germany which claim to have the best of all. I guess thats where the term usual disclaimer comes from, so I guess we yanks can at least claim to know what the term usual disclaimer means, HUMMMMMMMMM>[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:p][:p][:p][:p][:p][:p]
