A non-profit organisation devoted to the
collecting and operating of TTR, Trix Express and Trix 00 gauge trains |
 |
|
A grand
layout of Bassett-Lowke '0' Gauge was displayed on the hall's raised
stage, while Trix and other layouts, and spare parts and sales
tables were placed on the main floor.

A view from
the corner of the Bassett-Lowke layout, with the Hornby Dublo layout
'Kings End' and Trix tables beyond.

Trix plastic Western Diesel and steam loco bodies.

As usual at a
TTRCA event, there were plenty of items for sale, including wagons for
£1.50 or rarities for £££. Here's Adrian Cassidy (left) studying David
Johnson's stock.

John Dickens
(right) brought along an interesting Bub 'S' gauge demonstration track with
an electric AC loco. He also provided a selection of Trix items for sale,
including some nice wagons for just £1.50.

Clive Parker
(left) takes an interest in Geraldine Steele's Minitrix layout. Fitting this
'N' gauge track in the car boot was obviously a doddle compared to the 'S'
and '0' gauge exhibited elsewhere in the hall.
|
David Plum
provided his 'traditional' TTR layout: bakelite track and AC operation.
|
David had two mineral trains
with operating dump wagons taking turns to load at the Coal Conveyor.

Another view
of the layout, with long straight track sections to show Trix in action
...
|
... and Trix definitely not in
action.

TTRCA member
John Wigglesworth has had his entire Trix collection destroyed by fire and
made this request for replacement items.

David
Southgate sorting out the electricals on his layout, which used fibre
based track and featured a selection of Trix Express and Trix Twin rolling
stock.

Another TTRCA regular, Peter
Berry, offering items for sale.

Rebuilt from a wreck by Clive
Parker, a Trix Express DC Flier,
catalogue
No. 758. The DC version is quite rare as it had a short production run. The
AC motor was converted to DC by replacing the field coil with a bar magnet,
as was done on the similar bogie in the Meteor. It's odd that Trix invested
in new tooling for the bogie frames and roof detailing.
|
Converted from an AC Diesel Flier, a GWR
railcar special by John Hopkinson.
|
And another special by John, a
smart LNER railcar.
|
Duncan Bell's 2-4-0 special,
with modified tender.
|
The latest TTRCA creation,
available soon, Macfisheries transfers for the plastic container loads.
|
|
These are two of the special
Trix models that Mary Lillford owned.
Mary was TTRCA Secretary for several years, and sadly passed away due to illness.
The loco is 'Lilford Hall', a modified TTR LMS Compound.
Look closely at the modern liveried Diesel behind and you'll discover it's a
1950's TTR Meteor.
