Blue Plastic Tracks

Hi guys getting right into vintage triang from the 50s 60s and 70s and thought I would throw some pics up of my growing collection, I can clean them, service them and rebuild them as long as they have the X04 motor , Yes there is a British Railways theme going haha.

Princess Elizabeth R.50 from 1955ish (early cellulose plastic shell, they warp)



Jinty 3F tank engine R.52 also 1955ish (early cellulose plastic shell, they warp)



0-4-0 primary industries R.359 rare as it only came in a set in 1960ish



0-6-0 R.251 Deely 3F, love this one it looks brand new despite being over 50 years old.



0-6-0ST (saddle tank) R.153 got 2 of these beauties, they are taller than the jinty

And today I put new decals on the primary industries 0-4-0 and the pair of saddle tanks. Very happy with how they came out

Love it ucwepn, I'm sure my dad has a triang loco somewhere, it's funny you should post these as yesterday I was fitting some new brushes/pickups to my dads old Triang jaguar scalectrix cars (slot cars). I took my old scalectrix set from my parents house and there in the box were some of my dads old cars (from his old slot car set) I lubed and cleaned them & replaced the brushes and now the motors run great, although the body shells are pretty poor (& missing the drivers) even so it's great to have them running with the smell of the motor and noise of there all metal gear set!

oh that oily electrical smell mmmmm yes my friend. the x04 motors will outlast us all haha

Nice work Ucewpn!

Ucwepn, you are gathering a nice collection of triang locos. Your shed will be full of so many different train layouts your car will be outside

And of course a video...
