Triang OO Gauge RS 8A Train Set.

Tri-ang ‘OO’ model railways.

Made by Rovex Scale Models Ltd in England.  It was much cheaper than Hornby-Dubo and eventuallyin the 1960’s took over the Hornby Dublo range.

Initially came out with a grey base track. (16.5mm) withnickel coated steel rail. Locomotives, wagons and coaches were in plastic.

This set was produced by the Tri-ang Hornby  in th days when owned by Lines Bros.

A very interesting set. The box has some damage. The locomotive is clockwork  works and has a key. There is two extra lengths of Super 4 straight track. The  wagons and track VGC.
The interesting thing about the set is that it was produced at Moldex in the Melbourne suburb of Fairfield. The track has made in Australia but the wagons were made in England. No details of where made on the loco.
