Triang Toys

Please note: Display items are part of my personal collection and are not for sale.

On this page of Dave Angell Trains you can see part of my collection of Triang / Pedigree / Lines Bros etc toys, mainly tin, but one or two interlopers.

My collection of Triang Tin Toys actually started before my Triang Railways days. I was fortunate enough that as a little child, my parents and family appeared to appreciate the quality of their product and I was the lucky receiver of a few of them for birthdays or Christmas’s. Sadly time took its toll and most of the originals are long since gone, but the particular story of one lives on in the form of my first Nellie. The story being, that for Christmas 1963, my late Uncle Ted, bought me a pull along Puff Puff Train. However, I already had one and so it was returned to the shop and exchanged for a train set – RS24 The Pick Up Goods.

Over the years, I have seen the odd Tin Toy that has taken my fancy and gradually I seem to have accumulated quite a few. I’ve not gone out of my way to find them and certainly not spent lots of money on ‘mint in box’ versions. Some are original and good, whilst others are a bit tatty, or restored. My motto being that if I like it and can afford it, I’ll have it!
