several layouts and sales tables.

display: unlined AC 0-4-0, modified Trix Express 4-6-2, Schools, modified
0-4-0 with lengthened boiler, AC 0-4-0, black 4-4-0 Hunt, and green 4-4-0
Hunt. Top right is a 12v DC plastic bodied 0-4-0 tank.

Two
repainted TTR American bogie tankers added some colour (color?) to the
display.

David Plum's
AC layout was based on bakelite track. In the background, a Princess and
LMS scale coaches. In the centre, between the Trix Manyways platforms, an
LMS suburban train.

David O'Brien
had unearthed a bottle of Trix Shell oil with a French label for the Nord
set.
|
Unfortunately
the label is torn on the other side of the bottle.
|
David had also
discovered two types of Elevator Conveyor tower. Look at the diagonal
struts on the front ...
|
...and then
compare with this version on which they are missing. Why did Trix change the design?
|
|
Thanks to Dave
Berry for organising an excellent event
