During the 1960s, Tri-ang made a brave venture into miniature garden railways. The chosen scale was 10 /1/4" (26cm) and ran from current picked up from the rails at 36v. There was an engine, Pullman coaches individually named and a ride on 'toastrack' bogie wagon. Only 86 locomotives were made, many going to holiday camps where they lived a hard life. Others have been regauged over the years to run on 7 /1/2" (19cm) gauge. Travelling at 7mph, they are a thrill for the children and dads alike. The Tri-ang Society has found about twenty of the locomotives, anyone with any information on the TMNR will be most welcome to e.mail the Society.
