I went for RMWeb Gold to support the site when it was first offered, which was before the big database issue earlier this year and the ever worsening advertising issues. As such I don’t get any ads apart from BRM related ones. Cheers Darius

Hi. The Trix UK models were in the main produced to a scale of 3.8mm to the foot, so they are sort of HO-ish compared to OO, but they were of good quality and fidelity compared to the Triang/Hornby/Dublo models of the time. The AL1/Class 81 model was an exception, being produced to 4mm to the foot scale. It also, in my view, looks more like an AL1 than the Triang-Hornby or Hornby-Dublo AL1s. Cheers Darius

Roof vents etc. added. Cheers Darius

On the plus side, two of the coaches were fitted with battery powered LED lighting strips with mini push button operation. These have been salvaged. Cheers Darius
