"W" SERIES


this is how the Tri-ang describe this series in the1955 catalogue:

This wonderfull and inexpensive range of miniature commercial vehicles has been

augmented with many interesting models. Each vehicle is studily constructed in metal

and is fininshed in brilliant Tri-ang enamels.

Tri-ang introduced the "W" series in the early 50ties of the last century. The last year they were produced was 1957.

There were two "W" series, the regular and a powered serie.(push and go)There were only two powered models : the Covered wagon and the Shell tanker.In contrast to other Tri-ang series, these models have several interesting features. Because there were only a few "W" serie trucks made, they are, if complete, very collectable.
