Triang Vintage Princess Elizabeth Train Set, Loft Find Will It Still Run After 30 Years ?

This Triang train set has been in the loft for over thirty years the question is will it still run ? from 1962 this trainset has been stuck in the loft until a customer brought it to the shop and sold it to me. now here's my advice when buying vintage trains, unless you know what you are doing don't ! and guess what i didn't follow my own advice which is, always check there's enough track in the box to run the train, make sure you have a safe power supply, check the carriages and tenders connect together and aren't damaged or broken.and always see the train running before you buy it.
i certainly don't make things easy for myself, i bought this train from a really nice guy and wanted the money to go towards some parts for a car he was restoring, and like i said i thought it would make a real good toy tuesday video to see it running, as i've done the live steam stephenson's rocket and the vintage hornby train sets in the past, they've had their issues but this set was a total punt as to whether it would run ! and it didn't ! luckily we had the parts and technology in the toy museum to get it running ! so it was great to be able to get it back on the track ! Now if your passing by the shop or coming to blackpool why not pay us a visit and see some of our displays ?

Thanks for fixing it Dad!

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

yep he really bailed me out with this one !

[@graemerobertson9357]

Great video, getting better each week, looking forward to next week

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it ! I’m hoping next weeks comes out as well ! I’m really looking forward to doing it. Do you think shorter or longer videos are better ??

[@graemerobertson9357]

It’s hard to say if shorter is better! What’s the standard KZbin video about 3 to 5 min? Like you say maybe do a standard and extras?

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

@@graemerobertson9357 that’s a good idea ! I may try that ! Thanks & stay safe !

[@electricwheels411]

Awesome video and love watching these bring to life finds. Your shop worker friend is worth his weight in Gold. Nice little train crash lol

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

Thank you ! Glad you enjoyed it, it was lucky he had the parts to fix it ! I really enjoyed filming this one, and I’m looking forward to doing this weeks one too ! (Is that sad?) It was a good crash too 😂😂 stay safe. M

[@electricwheels411]

@@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES No it’s not sad at all because it’s something that makes you happy 😊 👍

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

Thank you !

[@teescottageguyproductions]

Fantastic video! I’d love to get myself one of those old Triang sets.

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

thank you ! glad you enjoyed the video ! m

[@Moochtv]

Your video format is getting better and better. All this work will pay off one day!

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

One day soon I hope 😂😂 I have to say I really enjoyed filming this one! I’m looking forward to doing next weeks too ! Is that sad ? Hope you enjoyed it! Do you think longer or shorter videos are better ?? Or should I start doing a directors cut 😂😂

[@borusa32]

It is a pretty train anyway.

[@thedigitalemotion]

Another fab video! Love how your Dad saved the day, what a legend :-) This channel should be made into a show for Sky Discovery channel, I could easily see this alongside Fast'n' Loud - Wheeler Dealers, Gold rush, Brooks Collectables! Looking forward to next Tuesday's Vid.

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it! I’m working on the next one soon !

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

Golden rule is : First..Clean the wheels and pickups and lubricate. Secondly, you do not need a full circle of track for it to run.

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

I don't think I made it easy for myself with this one ! thanks for sharing the tip though, hope you enjoyed watching the video and thank you for your comment ! stay safe M

[@TheLeeattwood]

I thought he had a bucket on his head Lol

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

No 😂😂😂 we were filming under covid restrictions at the time, but it does look like it 😂😂

[@astrochaos4182]

Around April I found a 1954/1955 Tri-ang goods set for about £20 and got the whole thing working in under 2 weeks

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

that sounds like a bargain ! they are such great quality pieces of miniature engineering, i'm glad you were able to get it running ! hope you enjoyed the video, thank you for your comments ! stay safe ! M

[@imethan-youtubetips2420]

Nice beard man. Thumbs up from a small creator 😅

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

thank you !

[@markchapman3059]

Nice video, the suspense was palpable....just a quick question in the early shot where you asked for help upstairs, did Colin have a bucket on his head?? Also shouldn’t this really be Toy Thursday as it was two days later......😉 Keep up the the great work Yatesy.

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

im glad you enjoyed the video! suspense is my middle name, you know now dads secret identity! he is lord bucket head. the toy Tuesday thing is because I post them on a Tuesday , but they normally take me a week to plan, write, film, animate and edit 😉😂😂 so that's why the continuity is terrible! speak soon ! how are the frogs ? M

[@NANONilsWORLD]

Build from 1951(?) - to 1971, and in the headline you wrote 30 years? Let me understand this.. ??

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

It had been in the loft tor 30 years, so I want to see if it still works, sorry I think it’s the way I’ve phrased it ! Hope you enjoyed the video ! Stay safe. M

[@teescottageguyproductions]

I have a model railway. It’s in my channel

[@BROOKSCOLLECTABLES]

Cool I’ll check it out, thanks for sharing ! M

[@Traindude77]
