Dear Friends.

i think the most of you know this old catalogue.For me  after reading the wonderful Hornby boogazine (I discovered that I have bought all the Hornby brands except the Scaletrix tracks) I found this ancient catalog of the Tri-Ang Hornby brand on the Italian ebay site.For me, who loves the beautiful English trains like you, it was a real fortune. This morning I spent 4 hours scanning all the pages to insert my video. I hope that, as always, some of you will be kind enough to be able to make the link active because my antivirus system does not allow it. Thanks and good vision.Alberto

I have it as well, It was good book.


I already have the Hornby book of train 25th year edition issue in 1979 and The art of Hornby (front cover catalogue from 1920 to 1982 plus hornby adverts etc) issue in 1983.


I also have all The story of Rovex volume 1-3.


Great books I read everything. Thank you Hornby and Pat Hammondthumbsup

Nice to see that a copy has been digitally preserved. I had one as a child that fell to bits and the copy I have now is doing the same, i think the glue dries out and disintegrates.

Also look up Tri-ang Railways, the first ten years. There are a few on eBay available cheaply at the moment. Some good information on maintenance and some of the service sheets for the X04 motor and early locos in it. A great read.

There is also the Tri-ang TT book by Rob Hampton meant as a companion to the three volumes of the Rovex story looking at the original TT range in detail. Again, a great read.

If you are interested in the Airfix/Kitmaster story there is the updated ‘Let’s Stick a Little Bit More’ by Steve Knight which contains the full story with details of proposed models and some neverwazzas.
