No doubt many have already seen this, maybe one or two have tried it.....

 

The same thing happens if you put sugar in it. When I was a kid many years ago, my brother and I used to put a spoon full of sugar into a cup full of coke, it used to do exactly that with all the carbon dioxide being released and the coke tasting like a coke cordial.

Triang(-Hornby?) produced some Mk1 coaches, an EM2 loco and a Princess Royal loco as CKD kits, complete with screwdriver for assembly!  This was apparently to avoid or reduce purchase tax at the time, though it was marketed as "have fun building your own loco/whatever".

 

Also the small crane with a match truck.

Tri-ang (Lines Bros. Group) had a deal with Shell.

 

Shell supplied lubrication oil in small bottles which has labels for FROG (flying model aircraft), Scalextric, Tri-ang Railways, and probably Minic Motorways (oil bottles were supplied with the cars, but I don’t recall seeing a Minic Motorways label?)

Sorry for the late reply but only just seen this. Here is a pic of a Minic Motorway bottle. I also have a couple of round ones and also a Vacuum Oil Company bottle for Triang Trains sold in Australia.

Not done 6223 Princess Alice as a new model though.

But they have in scale length.

Only 1 Queen Mary has ever been released and that was a shorty.
