1950s/60s Triang train set


   This is an amazing toy from the 50s/60s the ultimate boys toy which was kindly given to me by my father in law.
     These were all made in England the main factory was in margate.
   The quality and detail on these little engines and rolling stock is superb i've also got stations platforms, fencing, trees and more all excellent quality you just don't see anymore.
     The helicopter pictured right is designed so when it hits a certain part of the track is flies up in the air fantastic well i think it is anyway.
   Check out this website for loads more info on Triang http://www.tri-ang.co.uk/





 Another shot of a few of the coaches these are quite dusty as they were stored in a cardboard box for 40years, but i have had parts of the set out and it all still runs great hours of fun watching a train go round a track!
                                        

Notice the price sticker on this box brought from Rackhams in Birmingham another fantastic company that started in 1881 and still trades today as the house of Fraser
