Triang 1st First Edition Catalogue 1955

!

A very nice original 16 page catalogue in unmarked condition with tear down cover fold for about 25mm and with cover securely held on by staples. Very minor creasing to one side of front cover. Having seen several examples of these rare catalogues come up for sale in the last year or two and all fetching big money I have to say that this example is the best of those I have seen and therefore a bargain! The new owner will not be dissapointed.

Note the catalogue has the date stamp RO 101155 on the front cover. We have the matching RO Train Set for sale in our Triang loco section if you wish to combine the two. The whole may be of greater interest than the parts.

Triang R50 Princess Elizabeth Loco and R30 Tender

!

Made in the Rovex Richmond factory and with correct boxes and early couplers without the half moon shape and having the split chassis. Loco has damaged front buffer beam otherwise complete elesewhere and a good runner. Both boxes are complete no instructions. An interesting early example from 1953 easily renovated with printwork 100% and retaining a good body shape in relatively rare original Rovex Richmond boxrs. Good B in excellent B+ boxes with loco having better appearance than condition classification suggests. Not seen a Rovex Richmond boxed example for a while so certainly interesting in desirable boxes.

Hornby R360 BR Class 82 Electric Loco Phoenix

!
Loco number 86219 in BR blue in near mint to mint A-/A undamaged condition tested and a good runner in near mint A- box no instructions. A very nice loco from the late 1980's in a condition that will be hard to better.

Triang RO Passenger Train Set from 1955

!

The set includes instructions, service book, gaurantee tag and oil bottle. The coaches are square and the track is undamaged with all clips intact and looking like new. It has to be said that the contents of this set appear to have had little use. The box lid is torn in all 4 corners having a good unmarked picture. The loco has the early plate chassis and is a good runner and undamaged as are the coaches. There is no battery controller included. The instructions have the date stamp RO-101155 suggesting this set was produced in November for the Xmas market of that year. This could make an interesting Xmas present for boy who was say 8-12 years old in 1955 (61 to 65 now)!

Note that there is a rare Triang 1st Edition Catalogue for sale in the Triang Accessory section having the same date stamp as this set. You may wish to consider purchasing both items at the same time.

Master Models AA Patrol Man and Telephone Box

!
All having a disirable and exceptional appearance. One of the most attractive examples of this Master Models series you will see!

Hornby R038 Redgates Tioys and Models Sheffield Van

!
A collectable limited edition van from 1981 with minor discolouration in one corner otherwise in near mint A- undamaged condition

Kitmaster OO Biggin Hill Battle of Britain Class Loco Kit

!
A mint A complete kit and instructions in an excellent B+ untorn box with wear along angles only. Produced by Kitmaster in 1960 and sometimes motorised using a Triang chassis.

Wrenn OO Gauge No 1 Track Set

!
Contents are mint A with instructions in an excellent B+ box having splits in 2 corners of the lid however with a very nice appearance making up for this. The contents form an oval size 56" x 32" and the sleepers are a realistic OO gauge scale. Not seen one of these in this condition for a few years so I guess these sets are hard to find.

Hornby R244 Beatties Small Mineral Wagon special edition

!
A rare wagon from 1973 with the addresses of 4 Beatties shops on the side in near mint A- undamaged condition
