Manufacturer description

Our ‘Tri-ang Hornby Remembered’ set recreates the nostalgia of the original, using the same artwork on the box lid, and includes the BR green-liveried locomotive with its small yellow warning panels, which were typical of the time, plus Pullman Cars ‘Jane’ and ‘Ruth’, and Pullman brake ‘No.7’.

Back in the 1960s, the track in Tri-ang Hornby train sets was the new Super 4 system introduced in 1962, but today’s recreation has current Hornby trackwork, comprising of a 2nd radius starter oval of track, power clip and uncoupling ramp.

Historically Tri-ang train sets didn’t include a controller and therefore this collectable re-creation of the historic train set also doesn’t contain a controller. If you wish to run this you will also need to purchase our R7229 Analogue Controller and P9000 wall plug transformer or our R8012 HM2000 Analogue Controller.

Prototype information

The Hornby Tri-ang Railways Remembered RS9 'Intercity Express' Train Set is a recreation of a classic train set from the 1960s. This OO gauge model features a BR green-liveried locomotive with small yellow warning panels, alongside Pullman Cars 'Jane' and 'Ruth', and Pullman brake 'No.7'. The set includes current Hornby trackwork, consisting of a 1st radius starter oval of track, a power clip, and an uncoupling ramp.

The model is DCC ready, with a 21 pin socket, and has a fixed plastic buffer system. The locomotive has a 3 pole motor and a minimum radius curve requirement of 2nd radius (438mm). The set is designed to represent British Railways in their late crest era.

The original Tri-ang train sets did not include a controller, and this recreation follows suit. Therefore, a separate controller and power source will be required to operate the model. Options include the R7229 Analogue Controller, the P9000 wall plug transformer, or the R8012 HM2000 Analogue Controller.
