- The Tri-ang Hornby Freightmaster set RS51. A powerful Triang Hornby R.357 A1A Brush Type 2 Diesel Electric moves fright made up with R.123 Horse Box, R.122 Cattle wagon, R.15 Milk Tank Wagon, R.561'Tri-ang' Container Wagon, R.340 3 Container Wagon, R.113 Drop-sided Wagon and R.16 E.R.Brake Van around the layout.
The wagons in the right order as per the box - I hate it when there not
Lovely Brush Type 2. That was a fabulous set too.
I had a similar loco back in the 70s. Either that or the Hymek was my first diesel.
I've just bought another old one of eBay for nostalgia. Looking forward to its arrival. Best buy some lubricant, give it a service and set up an oval of track again. sometime.
Good morning Robert great to hear you enjoyed seeing this terrific looking model locomotive in action. Hope yours arrived safely soon.
Thanks for watching take care.

very nice work, "Tr-ang Forever"
My first train set with the blue Class 31 and the newer brake van. Wonderful to see that these are still around, well looked after and still running. Great!!
Hi Yarslow, that's great to hear you had a blue Class 31 and glad you enjoyed seeing these old toy trains running.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Nice opener with the class 37.
Great to see the old type 2 in action, plus it can still "creep" when needed. : )
Regards, Cliff.
Flawless😊
This is great set to own I have one still in boxed condition . I recomend it to any one interested in Triang trains.
Cheers, Michael.
Its great looking set of items together. Which is probably why it sold so well for so many years.
Thanks for watching Michael.

Great. It was my very first trainset back in 1965. Still have the loco but trucks have taken a bit of wear and tear!
Same here, the last year the Freightmaster was Tri-ang before they became Triang-Hornby. I don't remember a cattle truck but it was a long time ago. Unfortunately mine disappeared somewhere years back.
Very nice set and loco .....Peter .
Back in 1971 the set I oh so wanted but never got. Looking at it in a 1971 catalogue now, RS.651 although it has a cable drum wagon instead of a container wagon. Good that you didn't refer to the loco as a class 31. Were TOPS numbers carried while the Triang name was being used? Apparently 550 green diesels carried TOPS numbers so it's possible.
Very impressive set up! That particular freight master set was the earliest set I can remember receiving as a very young kid. I can still vividly remember every wagon included and the original box too! Think I might get another one for this years Christmas nostalgia present to myself :) What is the foot print of that layout?
Good evening Ian, what a great idea it is to treat yourself to a freight master set. The layout is 10ft x 5ft.
Thanks for watching.

We (my brother and I) also had the Freightmaster set. I remember that even at a young age I would never allow the wagons to be coupled in any order other than shown on the picture on the box. Strange child. However, I would rotate the roof of the Brush 2 90 degrees sometimes so that I could pretend it was a new "plane/train" and was about to take off. Kids. Don't give them models. :)
class 31 by triang made in margate. the best. and parts are still available.
I was always attracted to the Triang class 31, think it looks lovely! never did get one. Seeing the wagon load behind yours I have all of them apart from the lowflat load one :) Sitting here looking at a boxed Triang open wagon with drop sides in original condition wondering what to do with it :)
I think it must have been one of Tri-angs biggest sellers. I have several different versions. The motors in these, I think are the weak point. The plastic housing that drops over the magnet gets to hot and distorts. Causing problems with the brush and the pick ups. (to many hours running around an oval of track on the carpet!) But a great looking Diesel. Must have looked very modern back in the 60s when the model was first released.
Thanks again for watching.

I have one of those train sets and would like to ask you if it will run on a standard Hornby 12v DC controller ?
Good Morning Dave, depending on the Hornby controller you have in mind it may well run, this old locomotive in ideal conditions draws the best part of half an amp, a lot of Hornsby's contemporary controllers don't allow for that type of current draw, please check your controllers technical information to see what the limits are to avoid potential damage to your controller. It's not the volts it's the amps which are important. New Model railway locomotives/motors draw very little so contemporary controllers have been designed with that in mind.
Thanks for watching take care.

When i was a kid i got a Freightmaster set but i seem to remember mine a this "NEW" thing called "Magnetic-grab" am i remembering right????
Hi, I think what your referring to is Magnadhesion. A system developed by Tri-ang Railways in the early 60s and was fitted to a wide range of there models OO/TT through to the late 70s in the Hornby Railways period. It was simply a magnet or magnets depending on the model, fitted between the drive wheels this made the locomotive stick to the track giving more traction. It works very well. However, it will only give more traction on steel track and by the late 70s and early 80s the move to nickel track was well underway, also many newer models were then being fitted with traction tyres. So Magnadhesion seems to have been phased out. Lionel in America had introduced a similar system in the early 50s called Magne-Traction.
