The
Britannia's new motor enabled it to run very smoothly at slow
speeds.
On the track behind is a custom made LMS six wheeled luggage van.
|
Ed Kegge, the TTRCA rep.
for The Netherlands, has modified a
standard bakelite curve to match large radius fibre track.
|
Top is standard radius, next is
the modified bakelite curve, and bottom is large radius.

Geoffrey
Robinson matched up an old Dinky diecast body with a Trix Express BR80
chassis.
|
The Trix Express chassis is
the plastic 12v DC type.
|
Geoffrey's "1959" layout
featured a humble Trix "Junior" loco from 1955.
Also seen: 5-car Meteor and Warship.

speeding through the station.
|
The station span is one of
the rare types with wooden end pieces.
The closest track is GEM flexible, which is contemporary with Trix fibre
and
connects very easily using Trix Express fibre/plastic converter rails.
|
Another interesting mix of
body and chassis: Hornby plastic
tank loco and Ruston shunter 0-6-0 chassis.
|
In addition to the usual spare
parts, John Hills-Harrop offered a selection of unused plastic loco bodies.
