Hi there!
I know these were made in England by Tri-ang and they have three rail track. Anyone know anymore please? I would especially like to know the year they were produced.

| Nice set you have there, Frank. You may be right. Yes, mine is HO too, but since it has a brass sprocket between the wheels, I thought it might be three rail. Thanks!

I have a Tri-ang power truck that came in a parts lot, and they seem like they must have been very rugged toy trains. And those knurled wheels!  You never had to worry about traction tires, but it must have been murder on the rails.
