Splined wheels keep the track clean😁👍👍

Brilliant! One of my (many) favourite Tri-ang items, certainly my favourite diesel. Was given my first Blue Pullman set in 1968 by my Grandfather, but sadly it went missing somewhere over the years. I have gradually collected most of the Tri-ang & Tri-ang Hornby Variants but the oddball 5th variant is proving difficult to complete a set, the rare rail blue yellow nose version only made in a small batch. Perhaps this was due to running out of Nanking blue colour ingredients. I have a fond affiliation with the Blue Pullman, and the later Grey style, as an Uncle was a steward on them during the late 60's/early 70's and he got us free tickets now and then, Paddington here we come! Thanks for another great video John bringing back fond memories.

Hi John, good idea to buy another set. I actually have two sets, one has black undercarriage and the other silver. This I think depended on when they were made.Yours are in nicer condition than mine. They look great. I also have a couple of power/dummy grey/blue pullmans

I Resonate with your Logic on this one and Great Result - Very Smart Indeed 👍🏻✨

Always loved this set! I don't think the modifications made by Tri-ang later on did anything for it, but they were only following BR practice at the time. It is ironic that the HST became the basis for a resurrected version of the Blue Pullman!🙂

@@garymckinnon6903 yes, there's irony!

500 quid, was that for a return journey? You guys must have been made of money back in those days. Very nice model mate, it runs very well. Steven.
