Tri-ang Railways The Story of Rovex Vol. 1

Revised with 32 extra pages

The first volume in a three-volume series takes the the reader up to the point when the product changed its name from Tri-ang Railways to Tri-ang Hornby. The period up to 1956 saw the development of the system from a simple beginning in 1952 through a time of rapid expansion and constant product improvement. Made principally in plastic and using a two-rail system which made the track appear more realistic, the range quickly proved successful and was marketed throughout Britain and the Commonwealth.
