Rovex And Tri-ang, Back To the 1950's Again. My Zero 1 Items, Unboxing Donations To The Channel. 

yes, winter is here, with us too, these are very beautiful old model railway treasures, best regards Kai😊👍👌

Hi Mr snooze like the unboxing would like to see wernn trainset and nice the plunger princess and zero as I have these item's and looking forward to seeing them running the layout on the super4layout nice too zero 1 running the older locos like triang and wernn and like the content in your Chanel too all best for edwin

As much as I love the Tri-ang set, I think the Wrenn set would be my preference. I have never seen a set before and didn't know they made their own track. I wonder if it is the same as Hornby Dublo 2 rail track. The collection of wonderfully dusty relics is precious, I'm sure you will make use of them in some way. I have four of the 6" coaches in polystyrene, I love them. So sweet. Always something to add another dimension to the hobby. 😊

Nice video! Lovely to see all these different items. I would like to see the Wrenn set. Great that yellow Zero 1. Never seen one before. I bought my Zero 1 in 1980 and still use it today. Great system! Greetings from Holland.

hi, fantastic to see all those old models, great video as always, would love to see the wrenn train set in your next running session!

Another great video. It’s so enjoyable looking back at the Triang days. I would like to see the Wrenn set featured in a video.

I think the wrenn set would be a absolute joy to watch run .

That Graham Farish loco had a two pole motor (!) in the tender powering the driving wheels in the loco via a universal drive mechanism. Also the armature with the front-facing commutator was probably from a Zenith X3 motor, (Triang Super 12), which indeed was destined to become the X04.

A Gppgle search tells me the body with the running number 47606 is a Triang R52 0-6-0 LMS 3F Jinty. from 1957

Good afternoon Mr Snooze what a terrific video with so much in it I love your dealer Zero 1 unit in bright yellow and excellent item, terrific collection of useful items you've been sent, I love the tins of bits. I've not seen a Wrenn set before and such a lovely box, the Midlander also has a lovely box and both boxes contain such a lovely looking items. So very difficult to choose which one to run first in a situation like this perhaps running both would be wise... Take care. Oscar

Coupling the two hook and loop coaches together re-created a wonderfully evocative Rovex moment. A lovely film full of stories to be told. Running either set first is good with me - I'd like to see them both ! Thank you for sharing.

Some really nice and interesting items you have there, I've not seen a Wrenn set before like that one, looks in excellent condition and I'm sure you'll sort the corrosion out on the track soon enough.

Nice to see the saddle tank engine running so well on your Series 3 track. She certainly storms along. My prefetence is to see Triang engines running as you may guess. I've found that once youve cleaned the series 3 track and keep running on it there is no rust. Mine certainly has no rust in humid Brisbane Mon from Brisbane

I loved Allen Berry’s and I also went into Watts toy shop Abington Street to buy N gauge stuff when I’d saved up enough pocket money.

Hello Jonathan. This was an enthralling video to watch. It was great to see the series three test track running, very noisy but great fun. The information regarding controllers was timely too as I short circuited one of mine yesterday and I'm afraid I may have wrecked it, you give me hope. I have never seen the Tri-ang Mk.1 couplers before so that was wonderful to see and I think it is great that you see the value of those old distorted items. I would love to see them again once you clean them up and display them. At least one of those tins looked like it may contain some parts that are missing from one of my locomotives. My vote for next weeks boxed set goes to the Tri-ang/Hornby Midlander set. Regards, David.

What a treasure chest that is, andthe triang midlander is my choice all the best and take care.

i have the same midlander set with a extra new unused coach really love it

Nice video, personally i would run the wrenn trainset. I am a Triang man but that Wrenn set is unusual

You have your work cut out with all those restorations but if anyone can fix them it's you Mr. Snooze, looking forward to seeing them looking a bit healthier. I didn't realise Wrenn made train sets so it would be nice to see that one running.

Looks like Christmas has come early for you Mr. S. If you want to, you could take on a few restoration projects with those coach, tender and loco bodies. It was interesting to see that you were sent a Hornby HM2000 feedback controller too. Great for powering up locomotives up gradients and tighter curves. A note of caution though: you may know this, but they are unsuitable for coreless motors and might put some strain on older Triang loco motors. Some remagnetisation may be required. As for the Hornby and Wrenn train set for your next video, I would love to see the Wrenn one. I wasn't aware that Wrenn did entire sets, so to see that running would be very interesting. All the best to you, Pete.

Set preference? Both! 😂 Though the Wrenn set is particularly unusual. At 32:49 it is of course a very early Triang Jinty body - I believe it was the second locomotive after the Princess produced by Triang Rovex. The later ones were always 47606 too until they retooled her in the 70’s/80’s with the motor driving the front axle. It’d be great to fit a chassis to that Jinty body and get her up and running again. My 1960’s Synchrosmoke 47606 (a birthday present when I vas 6) is still a stalwart, though repainted in gloss BR unlined black with separate handrails, real coal, red painted side rods (depot « pet ») and an Airfix five pile motor. Still one of my all time favorites. Fascinating video as always. Thanks. Rob

Old models have a lot of character

Goodness never knew Wrenn made sets. That therefore must get my vote. Mind you think the packaging of The Midlander is more attractive.

Great unboxing video the wrenn gets my vote. Do you have any triang transcontinental in your collection it's a favourite of mine. Thanks

hi nice vid is it possible to use gentle heat to straighten the warped coaches etc.

That is really quite a collection of old goodies you've been sent. I recognise the old Tri-ang Jinty body as I have one tucked away myself, 3 in fact all different stages of their evolution, the earliest is very warped. Interesting to see the Graham & Farish body but a shame you don't seem to have the tender and mechanism, I've never seen one of their early OO scale locomotives but do have some coaches and wagons from when they went mostly N scale but still produced OO scale versions of some rolling stock. I don't think you'll find the Hornby controller as good as the Guagemaster and may not be as friendly to your models as it's a feedback controller. The two train sets look very nice and I would like to see both in the future but the Wrenn is probably the one to start with, it is in the second edition Wrenn catalogue I have along with a smaller R1 goods set and a West Country Pullman set, apparently it cost £20.37 at the time.

Wreen please.
