The streamline era even invaded the toy industry in 1934. This boy looked over the latest in toy trains, a model of a record-breaking streamlined "Zephyr." The new model contrasts with the model of the older type steam locomotive.

The only train in the world with the name you pulled out of your ass? You must be so proud.

forgot to post here, but i got this lovely engine at my local antique fair yesterday!!

it’s a tri-ang ‘princess elizabeth’ from 1951, the oldest in my collection, and in lovely condition too!!

she’s missing her rear bogie, but i’ve ordered a set and when it arrives i can hopefully get some videos of her running to share with you all :D

⚠️warning- noisy as hell, turn down your volume for the video ⚠️

Picked up an antique Tri-Ang model set from the UK. How wonderful! She's growly as hell but runs fine. Might get a little quieter when I clean and oil it...

The only big issue is, the Tri-Ang models have huge wheel flanges- sometimes they don't play nice on switches/ turnouts on modern HO/OO track. The only problem child is the dining car, which is the oldest of the models. Might look into replacement wheelsets.

The coaches seem pretty light, too- Might add weight to improve smoothness

Back on the floor again, as the new train table is taken up with a Lionel project. Adds British realism (cough cough Sam's Trains)
