The Tri-ang Hornby Collectors Club was
formed late 1974, early 1975. The club's base was located at the
Platform Two model railway shop, Wimbledon. Subscription was a £1, with
Dave's membership number being no. 32. Several lists were produced &
were very valuable at that time as no lists had existed. The final total
of members reached 53, but by February 1977 the membership was reduced
to only 32 members. A regular membership list was produced, members
listed came from not only the UK but Canada, Tasmania & New Zealand. I
often wonder if anyone on the list is still collecting. (Pat Hammond was
no. 9) The club ceased with the final newsletter, No. 13, issued
November 1977. A bit odd was the introductory letter & the first
newsletter, the club title was The Tri-ang Hornby Collectors Club.
But from newsletter 2 onwards it was referred to as the Tri-ang
Collectors Club. With all the lists issued under the title of the
Tri-ang Collectors Club! Did Hornby complain about the use of
their name?
