About This Item
A history of Tri-ang Railways, introduced in 1952 as an attempt to seize part of the model railway market in the post-war period. This had previously been dominated by Hornby Dublo. Tri-ang had the advantage of being constructed principally in plastic, and of using a realistic two-rail system. 432 p : ill. (some col.) ; 22 x 29 cm. First edition, first printing. Blue cloth boards, unclipped dust jacket. Shelf wear to edges, no inscriptions, tight and square binding. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging.
