    Both the actual tower as well as the engineers drawings . Essentially a PL1 D30 design with 6 foot top (pyramid) instead of the usual 4 foot .

    The prototype for the third pylon is located just behind the Hornby Margate factory, 33kV route at Westwood and features feeders to the substation opposite.

    The world of Triang covered such an extensive variety of products which have fascinated me since childhood. Due to space and storage I built a small compact diorama to capture those wonderful catalogue images , even the scenic scatter materials are Triang/Hornby while several of the Model-Land buildings are original preproduction samples . Rovex were certainly responsible for enlightening the minds of countless children up and down the land .

    Substation late afternoon.

    I know a couple of people who work in the industry, they supplied the engineers drawings and blueprints .

    The shops and townhouses have a real charm about them , still very sought after to this day they fetch a premium made or unmade .

    Yes , it originally took the conductors down from 4 to 2 just before the junction .

    Hope one day you can recover it , those buildings are getting harder to find in good condition. Triang only produced relatively few of each kit .

    Do you still have that model ?

    Bottom right appears to be a Model Land medium shop featuring older Victorian upper levels.

    The ladder trailer only made a very brief appearance in the 1972 Triang Hornby catalogue, blink and you’d miss it . As far as I’m aware the white base trailers (caravan, ladder and boat ) were exported to the US .

    Not too sure on paving choices available back then , Triang/Hornby catalogues at the time used their own range of scatter materials which were a little basic but certainly added a unique character/charm to those scenes . The ballast grey they used was an unusual colour , appeared to resembled crushed biscuits . I managed to take a few more ‘Triang Town’ photos over the Christmas period .

    I could be wrong but there are possibly three to four Blaw Knox D90’s along the Streatley Hill to Bramley route .

    Always loved the Minix range ever since I was six years old . I recently built a diorama incorporating several pre release/preproduction sample Model-Land buildings , Triang-Hornby scatter materials, Britains Trees , Model-Land figures to capture how the Minix and Model-Land ranges were promoted during the 1960’s and early 70’s.

    The high street scene is one that really stands out in TH Book of Trains . I still have the original studio master colour transparency for this wonderful scene in my archive .

    They also had their own dedicated publications promoting the range .

    The Minic Motorways accessories were regularly featured with the Model-Land range . Photo - 1966 Triang/Hornby catalogue.
