  1964 Catalogue  
 
     

The collection comprises six builidings that appeared in the 1964 Triang Minic Catalogue and were titled 'Available Later' plus RML41 Castle Lines a feature of Tri-ang Exhibition layouts.

 These building never reached production.

 The seven builings are:

RML35 - Gas Holder

RML37 - Ferris Wheel

RML60 - Supermarket

RML56 - Town Hall

RML55 - Police Station

RML57 - Georgian House

RML46 - Modern Office Block

RML41 - Castle Lines

 The first three The Gas Holder, The Ferris Wheel and the Supermarket were made by Paul Rees (R666 and TCS 461) based on the original Tri-ang prototypes made by Frank Grant chief model maker at Tri-ang and later Hornby from the 1960's to the early eighties that appear in the inside front cover photo on page 2 of the 1964 catalogue. The supermarket eventually did go on to be made but in a much simplified version. The Gas Holder and Supermarket also appeared on page 5 of the 1964 Catalogue.

 The Police Station, The Town Hall, The Georgian House and the Modern Office block were created by Paul Rees. These models are meticulously made and exactly replicate the models as seen in the 1964 catalogue on page 6. They are signed by Paul Rees.

 Finally there is 'Castle Lines that, although never planned for production, is based on the castle that appeared on on many of the official Triang layouts including the famous Woburn Abbey layout. Made by Paul Rees and James Day the model the comes with 12v lighting and in its own wooden box that has space for the transformer and the Model Land outer box that was created with the help of Dave McCarthy.

 These items had become separated in to various different ownerships by the early 2000's and it became my goal to reunite them all as one definitive collection which I did by 2004 after much investigation and negotiation with the different owners.
