Tri-ang Australian Sets

R.4.F Set

 

 

This set was a 1965 introduction to the Australian catalogue, replacing the R4Z set which had TC bogie wagons. This set survived until Moldex closed in 1970. In later years the rolling stock was imported and the set code was changed to R4FA and then RS4FA when the track was changed to System 6.

 

 

Although introduced in 1965, it still has 16 R484 curves like other small Moldex sets. The track recess is not large enough to take R483 double curves.

This set has an R4Y sticker from a suburban set, with a smaller sticker added to change the set code to R4F.
