Did you have a train set at the bottom of your garden? If so, Mike Slatter wants to hear from you. He is collecting memories of the Tri-ang Minic Narrowgauge Railway system which was made in Canterbury 50 years ago.

| Overview |
Next year will be the golden anniversary of work starting on the ten-and-a-quarter-inch system. Dads could lay a track in their back garden and then climb aboard
their own electrically powered locomotive to ferry their family from
the kitchen to the garden shed.
But the system was short-lived. It only lasted two years when bosses realized they had made a mistake. Mike, a paramedic from Berkshire, runs the TMNR Society and is
searching for people who either bought the trains or helped to build
them.
