The Tri-ang Countryside Series was a
collection of buildings made to accompany 00-gauge model railways they
appeared in the Tri-ang Railways catalogue, they were made of hollow
moulded rubber. They were manufactured by Young and Fogg, a
rubber moulding company that had just been acquired by Lines Brothers. |

A little Mystery solved The Tri-ang Railways rubber Countryside buildings produced by Fogg and Young in the 1950s were popular accessories for any 00 Gauge railway at the time. Despite being a little crude they could be made to look quite realistic with some scenic accessories. Over the last few years I have also come across two of the buildings, the barn and forge and haystacks, in a thin hard plastic. I assumed they were made in Hong Kong and were exact copies (either using the original moulds or a mould produced from original buildings) At a recent sale in SAS auctions, I spotted a box titled Farmyard set, upon opening it I was amazed to see the plastic buildings and haystacks, scaled down Britains Farmers, Merit type Poplar trees and animals, plastic copy of a Liliput cart and various pieces of fencing The box stated the manufacturer was Faireylite and Made in Hong Kong on the side.A nice find and a mystery solved Bob Leggett |
