A non-profit organisation devoted to the collecting and operating of TTR, Trix Express and Trix 00 gauge trains

The theme of this year's Banbury event was 'bring along something unusual'. That could be everything from a custom paint job to a unique model based on a Trix chassis.

BANBURY

2008

Here's a 9F based on a Trix Express BR42 mechanism.

A popular 'special' is the British 2-4-2 tank loco built on the German chassis. 

A wild paint scheme for an EM1 Bo-Bo electric. Perhaps a European livery?

Attractive British Railways lined green loco similar to the station pilot at Newcastle in the 1960's.

BR suburban coach body combined with the TTR 'Portsmouth' chassis.

A most interesting black Brittania - it does not appear to be a repaint! 

A fine range of specials - 'Sir Nigel Gresley' and 'Plymouth' (both on Trix AC Pacific chassis).

Attractive Meteor livery - deep blue early BR.

North British Railway livery 0-4-0 and coaches.

Trix Express Diesel Flyer body converted to Great Western railcar.

Compound conversion to Southern Railways 4-4-0.

USA Passenger loco stretched to become a 4-4-0.

A more modern Union livery for the US oil tanker (usually silver Texaco or red Union Oil).

Trix 12v DC chassis with stretched AC 0-4-0 body to make a convincing North Eastern 0-6-0. 

Trix Southern 0-6-0 DC tank in attractive LBSC 'Bluebell' livery. 

A perfect match for the Trix 0-4-0 mechanism: an industrial saddle tank.

Trix Express 0-6-0 chassis and body transformed into a wartime USA loan tank loco.

High Capacity wagon in Wimpy livery with tarpaulin.
