Tri-ang Model-Land and Display Layout
Featured here is a selection of photographs from my display layout. It is based on a scarce Hornby Railways 3-part Pre-formed Layout and features models exclusively from the 1950s and the 1960s.
Tri-ang Model-Land buildings are featured together with some of the rubber models from the Tri-ang Railways Countryside Series. As well as Tri-ang Railways models you will find a range of models by Tri-ang Minic 'Push and Go' Models, Britains Limited, Wardie Mastermodels and their range of Woodside and Rickwood wooden buildings, Trix, Hornby Dublo, Hornby Trains (O Gauge), Dublo Dinky Toys, Morestone Budgie Toys, Benbros, Playcraft Railways, MDM La Vie du Rail, plus a few rare limited edition reproduction models.

To add more interest, a small extension has been added to the left-hand side of the layout to include a modern rural Model-Land village green and four longer sidings for freight cars. Also, a few diecast vehicles, in keeping with the period, have crept in by some modern manufacturers such as Oxford Diecast, Classix and Base Toys.
Some more favourite photographs
One of my favorite Tri-ang Railways models; Davy Crockett with an Old Time Coach. Yes, it is hardly a scale model of a real-life prototype but this picture really captures the essence of the period. As a good friend of mine would have said 'very evocative'.
Whilst browsing the internet, I found these photographs of Ben Fosker's 'Lines Junction' layout on Flickr. The layout, which features Tri-ang and Hornby Canadian models as well as some of the earlier Tri-ang Transcontinental Railways, was still under construction in these photos so I tinkered a little with the original pictures and I've included them below. Nice photos Ben !
