Hornby R1287M Tri-ang Railways Remembered R2X Analogue Train Set Limited Edition

The original Tri-ang Railways R2X Passenger Train Set in ‘00’ gauge was produced by Rovex Scale Models Limited in their Richmond (Surrey) factory in January 1954 and was introduced to the market in a September 1954 trade leaflet. The R2X set can be found listed in the first edition of the Tri-ang Railways 1955 Catalogue.

Sets were contained in the usual Tri-ang Railways packaging of red and yellow. Each set was comprised of a Class 3F ‘Jinty’ No. 47606 locomotive in a BR Black livery, two 7” LMS Crimson passenger coaches, an R42 Speed Control Unit with a forward-off-reverse-switch, an instruction manual sheet and a standard track of 12 curves and 2 straights. The Operating and Maintenance Instructions were pasted to the inside of the box lid as is the case with all vintage Tri-ang

Our Tri-ang Railways Remembered Set brings the R2X Set back into your life and those halcyon days can be recreated on a layout. Our train set consists of a Class 3F ‘Jinty’ No. 47606 locomotive, an LMS First Class coach with the running number 7573, an LMS Third Class coach with the running number 27424, 1st radius starter oval, power clip and uncoupling ramp.
