The Trix Twin Catalogue
1937
The first catalogue to use the TTR logo
In the Spring of 1937 the new
catalogue showed on the front page a locomotive coming out of a tunnel. Turning
the split page shows a train going the other way into the tunnel, illustrating
the principle of “Twin Trains”
The catalogue unfolds to show
:-
This spread sheet measures 44
cms x 37 cms.
A closer view of the LNER
trains on the top right is shown below:-
And the centre bottom in
close up shows the range of rolling stock :-
The train at the bottom of
the photo shows a mixed liveried train, with a LMS loco and guards van whilst
the other stock is LNER
The new English style
buildings are shown only briefly, not all of the ones listed are shown, perhaps
they were not yet made at the time the catalogue was printed, but prices are listed. For example the
Terminal station cost 15/- that is about 75 pence in todays money or 1 Euro !
Part of the back :-
On the left the advantages of
Trix track are explained, and on the right automatic uncoupling using the new
remote uncoupling rail.
The back cover shows the Trix
Construction sets.
