Did you know this ? As far as I am concerned, I
didn't, I confess. And yet, I'm a railway fan since about 30 years,
model railways in particular. Until that rainy day of October 2003,
I was unaware that could exist reproductions of French (or so-called)
rolling stock, in this scale so scarcely practised in France, namely
in TT scale.
Actually, a friend of mine, having heard of my
interest in railway stuff, had proposed to me a set of models "in
a scale smaller than HO" as he said to me. As he opened the trunk
of his car, I naively expected to discover a N scale train set,
and I don't need to say how much I was surprised when I saw the
set
lid.
Inside,
I discovered three goods trucks of typically French aspect, an engine
of unknown type, as well as the rails of the network.
But I was still going from surprise to surprise
by examining the catalogue
offered with the set. Indeed, in addition to TT
scale models, the first part is devoted to HO
models of the VB company (and including some models from HOrnby-acHO).
Why
this site?
There
are many sites about the TT scale models of Tri-ang, but most of
them are devoted to the British models. For this reason, it appeared
interesting to me to dedicate this one to the "continental" models
(understand "French" !) of this brand. I hope that you'll have
as much pleasure in reading these pages, as I had in writing them !
Don't hesitate to contact me should you see errors, omissions or
for any other reason !
