gazmanjack Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hello, I'm currently searching/enquiring about spare parts for early Hornby Triang Locomotives. I'm personally looking for Cylinders and connecting rods/guide bars for an old (1972) Hornby R759 Albert Hall 4-6-0, and also cylinders for a Hornby Triang R59 Class 3MT 2-6-2T, circa 1956-59. I have contacted shops in Australia and UK as well as some good old friends who refurbish locos, but have gotten nowhere. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Cheers all, Gary.

Fat Controller Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 There's a chap who does some of the exhibitions around here who seems to do a range of stuff:- David Wills 41 Crow Hill Road Garlinge Margate CT9 5PF 01843 833274 No E-mail, I'm afraid, so it's either post or set your alarm to call early.

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted January 27, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2012 I might be able to help, but shipping to Oz is a pain, been there done that, got stung with a lost package Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 They're not as cheap and plentiful as in the past, but I've found them on eBay in the past. You need to ensure you have the right version, as R59 chassis come in several varieties. 56-59 will be the version with the solid spokes. I believe the service sheets are on the Hornby website.

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted January 27, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2012 It's not so bad with the R59 cylinder block IMHO, there were only ever two versions, one with a hole in the middle (X.426) to take a smoke unit and one without (x.61). The 2-6-2 never had a chassis where the cylinder block fitted from below like the later Princesses with the cast chassis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gresley Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I suggest that you contact East Kent Models. Ask fore their Spares Lists. They will send you 3 lists in PDF form which you can download and print out. The lists are: a. Hornby China Production Spares. b. Triang, Triang-Hornby and Hornby Margate Production Spares c. Spares and Items of use to the Modeller including Bachmann,Vi Trains,Lima, Dapol and others. I have no connection with East Kent other than being a satisfied customer. gresley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS239 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I believe the service sheets are on the Hornby website. Not Tri-ang ones though,the service sheets on Hornby's website are for the current production product only. Would recommend,as previously mentioned,both Dave Wills and East Kent Models.

Il Grifone Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The Tri-ang ones are there too (at least some of them). There are 4 for R59. This is probably the relevant one. http://www.hornbyguide.com/service_sheet_details.asp?sheetid=161 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I was going to say that part X.61 also fits the Tri-ang Princess (or at least one version of it), which might make it easier to find, but, if you have found it already, I'm too late. http://www.lendonsmodelshop.co.uk/pdf/Tri-ang%20Service%20Sheets/No.003%20Chassis%20R50.pdf .
