I was the Producer for all three Tri-ang, Tri-ang Hornby and Hornby Dublo productions. They were shot over three years in various UK locations and the product of extensive research. When released on VHS in numbered copies they sold very well. I still have an extensive file of complementary letters. They have not dated but they were shot in 4 : 3 and on a component Betacam format. They were later produced for the DVD market and sold extensively by mail order from ourselves. Of course I still have all the master tapes and edit master. Using the phone number on the sleeve, I still receive complementary calls and inquiries. If there were a significant number of inquiries, we may consider a further pressing. I hope you continue enjoying the productions....I certainly do! Mike Fowler

I was born in December 1952. The first present I can ever remember asking for, for Christmas and my birthday when I was 4 years old, was 'a big crane and lorry'. The crane I received, in December 1956, was very similar to the one shown at 2:42 in this video (though mine didn't have caterpillar tracks - just wheels, which I ended up taking off). Then, when I was a little older, for another Christmas I received a Triang TT train set. And I remember saving up my money to buy various extra items for it... so I guess my childhood time with train sets corresponded pretty much with the heyday of TT Gauge. Now in my 60s, I have model railways again - this time N Gauge, due to lack of space... the same reason I had TT Gauge as a child.

What a wonderful video- captures the enduring joy of Tri-ang !

"i'm interested in girls, but i think triang railways are probably more interesting most of the time" that has to be the best thing i have ever heard

Thanks Stuart for sharing this! Not seen this before. I must visit this place - (the Museum) - didn’t even know about it! Excellent programme.

A real treat Hollpoll, thanks for posting this trip down memory lane..

I got my brother's small Triang layout around the age of 7 and recognize some of the items in the video clips. It was added to over the years but foolishly sold/swapped it in '68. Maybe a model fair will present itself soon..😗

Thanks Stuart, I have been after this programme for ages.

I recently sold a Tri-ang real estate number 6 hardware store. Boxed, complete and un-assembled, I got a good price for it on the bay.

It is so sad to see all the people employed at the factory and then to see it empty.

This simply brilliant. Thanks for posting👍🏻

I got some Triang as a Christmas gift from my dad!

An absolutely wonderful documentary.

Very enjoyable Hollpoll, thanks for uploading. : )

Wonderful, thanks for sharing

I’ve got the trilogy of dvds . Really great . Takes me right back to the days when the Triang Hornby catalogue was seldom far from my side.

Wow i thought that TT scale was unknown in Uk!! Thanks for that film I have TT east german BTTB for fun , but my favourite scale is HO/OO.

Fantastic.

Good advert for Hornby Stuart ...

Superb.

Or triang club bulletin and two triang club badges

Great video, Any chance of you posting parts 2 and 3

Interesting video! I thought the statement at the start about trains over women is not surprising coming from a Foamer! My old man collects the Mimic motorways cars and trucks.

Do you b ever see triang magazine oct 1964 to july 1965

Why did they neglect the Irish market?
