A good find for your Dad. That set being made in Australia from Australian and English parts will look unknown to most other countries. The box art is a colour tinted photo from one of the Albert Park grand prix races held in the fifties. The Moldex factory that made these and selected other Triang products was located at the corner of Darebin Road and Grange Road in Fairfield Victoria. I drive past the previous factory, now a storage facility, on my way to racing at Bonza Raceway. The transformer controller was mostly used for Triang trains here, but should have 12 Volt DC uncontrolled outputs able to be used for the hand throttles. That is if the whole thing has passed an electrical safety check after 60 plus years. They were made well so usually pass a safety check with a little servicing. The usual slot car transformers had no controlled output and reversing like trains needed so we're less expensive. The track was the earliest rubber based track.
