Memories

Dangerous things memories.............

I know mine have a habit of being wrong!

Having said that my first train set was a Tri-ang clockwork set which I received for my fifth birthday in 1963!

I think the "O" gauge tinplate ones were gone by then, but I'm certain that Triang (as it was then) did an 0-4-0 or 0-6-0 clockwork OO set till quite late.

My memories of my short life, include buying my first ever train!
I was only 6, and saving up £40 was very hard! (It was mainly birthday money)

I bought a Hornby class 142, Northern Spirit. I still have it now, but it tends not to work aswell. It might need a quick visit to the model shop for coupling repairs. The motor works fine, just the couplers are dogey.

I absolultey love my 142, despite its current condition.

You are quite right Brian, Mine was a blue 0-4-0 diesel which I believe was also available as an electric one in green. (If memory serves it sort of resembled an 04)
