Peter has kindly allowed me to add to my Tri-ang Site some photos of his wonderful collection that he has recently been posting on various Tri-ang Facebook Groups. He has a very comprehensive collection and they deserve a wider audience. The notes accompanying the photos are Peters own. The images may look a bit 'stark' but I have sharpened them to bring out the details.

The 3 different versions of the green electric transcontinental loco |
|
 |
 |
|
The 4 different E3001 (later Class 81)
that were made. Top one is the twin pantograph Electric blue version.
Second is the single pantograph electric blue version, this one has had
the mould altered and the slots filled in where the second pantograph
used to be. I have also seen versions of the single pantograph one with
the slots in the roof still. The third one is the 1968 electric blue one
(which seems to be a different shade to the original electric blue ones)
with yellow ends and the last one is the later rail blue with yellow
ends |

4 Baltic tanks. All 4 are the Australian versions |

The 2 different versions of the
Continental Prairie tank loco. I believe the top one was to represent a
French loco and the bottom one a German loco |
|

5 versions of EM2 Electra

Some of the Jinty's Triang come
Triang/Hornby come Hornby have made over the years. The bottom 2 of the

Some of the UK made Princess's. The top
4 are cellulose acetate, the rest are polystyrene. The top 6 are of the
split chassis design with body screw down the chimney. The last 3 have
the solid cast chassis |

|
| Some Australian made Princess's, Top one is quite a rare example. Princess Royal from around 1966. Next is Princess Elizabeth with a split chassis and solid wheels. Then Princess Elizabeth with the updated solid cast chassis and see through wheels. Next the loco was renamed Princess Victoria but still with number 46201 and finally a red Princess Royal | |

The Brush Type2 A1A-A1A (later Class 31)
made by Triang come Triang/Hornby come Hornby. Here is 8 versions that I
own. The original blue with duck egg window surrounds. The blue and
white XP64 livery. The original matt green. The 1968 electric blue
version. 1969 rail blue livery. A later matt green version from the
RS.651 set (this one has the step missing like the blue versions before
it) A later gloss green variant with pick ups on the trailing bogie and
last the fictitious Australian NSW Livered one |

Not so much a timeline but just Class35
Hymek's that I own. The top green one was in a right mess when I bought
it many years ago. I restored it, so it is not quite in original
condition. Then the 1968 electric blue version, before changing to rail
blue in 1969. The rail blue one continued for a few years. In 1977 the
main range one changed to green but also there was 300 made in orange
for the Irish market. The next two have been updated with a new chassis
and have Ringfield motors and painted bodies |
