RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted January 7, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2021 I have some old Triang track, with bullhead rails and integral grey moulded sleepers and ballast, also some very similar track with black plastic sleepers but no ballast. I think it's code 100 rail. Is there mush use for this? Is it of any value? Cheers N Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted January 7, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2021 The simple answer is no. Some people do use it but there are fewer using it than want to dispose of it so prices are low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithMacdonald Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I've resolved that issue with my next layout in the new house (if & when it ever gets finished). It will include a Railway Heritage Museum. With two sidings at the back, using the old Triang track, for a static display of the oldest Triang Hornby locos my Dad bought for me (only 60 years ago). The Heritage Museum is also a Rule One excuse to mix whatever "visiting" locos and rolling stock I damn well please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
great central Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 There is some, albeit limited, interest in it. There's a thread in the collectable/vintage section of the forum dedicated to it. Someone there may be interested in taking it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cypherman Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Hi Rodent. You might want to give Silverfox17 a message in the collectable/vintage section of this site. He is putting together a layout using that style of track an probably would take the track of your hands.

Il Grifone Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Tri-ang track is about code 150 (155 IIRC) to accommodate the then current coarse wheels. The grey track is either acetate plastic and inevitably warped and hence almost worthless. Later track is polystyrene and worth a bit more. Broken bases and/or rusty rail will negate this, however.

RMweb Gold ianLMS Posted January 8, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2021 Value is subjective and it depends on whether you consider £50 to be a lot of money or pocket change. I sold around 100 pieces of Triang Super 4 track (points, curves, straights etc) last year for £70.00 on Ebay so I guess it depends on how much you have, what condition its in, how you package the advert and essentially, how many people want to bid and/or what they are willing to pay.

RMweb Gold rodent279 Posted January 8, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2021 Thanks all. I need to take stock of how much I have. I certainly don't need all of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roythebus1 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 As others have said, have a look on the "collectable and vintage" group further down. there's a thread on there about Triang standard track. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
