MrWolf Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Triang/Hornby Dublo R.5083 OO Gauge Terminus/Through Station Kit This seems rather pricey, I could be wrong, but I doubt that the £4 postage would cover the insurance value.

Its an odd colour for a Hornby Dublo station as they are usually a cream colour. Either its a very rare version or its been re-painted. If it is a rare colour its a bargain, if its a repaint its not worth very much. Enlarging the pictures doesn't help as if its a repaint its very well done. If your interested I would suggest asking the vendor if it is indeed a repaint. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 A quick bit of research says it is the Tri-ang reissue of the Hornby Dublo product and there's a few about. Auction estimates £70-£100 for the HD version. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted March 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2022 I prefer the Triang Hornby colour to the HD cream, but of course the cream 'render' finish was standard for HD buildings, as was an Art Deco style. I considered the Triang buildings to be more 'railway like' in a generic sort of way, and had the bricks and slates been defined by recessed lines instead of raised ones (see SR Utitily Van and others for this effect on planking) they would still possibly be the basis of decent models that could be worked up even now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Definitely. My first attempt at building a model railway used for it's station building, one of the old maroon Tri-ang booking halls with the yellow arched windows. I re- cladded the whole thing (it had no brick detail) in embossed plasticard and painted the woodwork and canopy in GWR colours. It was my first attempt at using plasticard rather than card and as an eleven year old, it spurred me on to build a model railway rather than a train set. I remember clogging up some of my dad's files taking off what bit of detail there was. Tri-ang, the gateway drug....
