I’m always amazed how well you get your trains to run over that old series 3 track. Stalling on points was always a problem for me as a lad using Super 4. I only managed to overcome it when I started using Peco track later on. A tribute to your excellent tracklaying and careful maintenance!
Morning Oscar,
Great overview of the assorted bogie bolsters and loads. Fond memories of finding R59 on top of the wardrobe a few weeks before Christmas 1956-7 😀
Many thanks for the detailed reply on storing rolling stock and engines, appreciated.

Us kids always found the places where mum and dad thought they had hid Christmas presents from our sight!
Thanks again for looking in Gordon, that must've been a magic moment finding that tank locomotive hiding on top of the wardrobe before Christmas.
All the best.

I meant to ask Oscar, do you have a link for the flat cardboard storage boxes, thanks again.
Hello and Good morning Oscar, it's Martin from Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Great to see your bogie bolsters and Co Bo pulling them on your wonderful railway. The railway goods yard I worked in had lots of those wagons. My biggest regret always is not taking more photos of all the different types of wagons in the yard., oh well, anyway I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into your amazing layout. Well it's time to have my toasted tea cake and a cup of tea. ☕. Have a good weekend and a good week ahead and keep safe Oscar and ill see you next Sunday. 👍🚂
Good morning Martin thank you again for taking the time to watch. It's amazing how many pictures we didn't take in the past compared to today where it's comparatively easy and cost-effective to continue recording images. Looking back, I can think of many occasions and I think now why did I not take pictures... I've had a great weekend. The weather has been amazing here in the north east.
All the. best.
Oscar
Thanks Oscar for another interesting video.
Thanks, Barry. Glad you found it interesting.

Hi Oscar. Another great video for Sunday morning. I always look forwards to Sunday for your videos. A thought occurred to me when the wagons came adrift at the double S bend by the turntable. Why did you not put a righthand point going to the turntable instead of the lefthand one and just move the lower lefthand point across a bit. Would make the transition much smoother and less likely to cause the couplings to come undone?.
Good morning Gerard thank you again for looking in, an interesting thought. I have to say the track just sort of evolved that way around the turntable.
Take care.

Hi Oscar,
R 110 Bogie Bolster Wagon... My very first piece of Tri-ang trains.. A birthday present in May 1955.. The deal was that if if was still intact by Christmas, I would get a complete train set? Both the R 110 and the train set (with standard track) are all still running in 2024.. Let's see modern Hornby do that? Although, I must confess to a piece of the underframe has broken the same as on your model and the red caboose has lost some steps (a frequent mishap and repair on them)? Otherwise every thing is still running?
R 59 is Charlie's favourite loco, although he prefers the green livery? Today's video is truly nostalgic for us.. Thank you .. There is also an acetate R 16 Brake Van in the collection, that has shrunken so much that it popped off of the metal chassis?
I am told that the injection mold at Rovex did two of the R 17, 18 or 19, short 4 wheel flat wagon bodies and one R 110 Bogie chassis on each pressing, (in grey plastic)? I'm not sure if this is correct or not? Also the same bolsters were used on both the R 110 and the smaller R 17 Bolster Wagon.. Great designing again from Tri-ang.. Bye for now..
Good afternoon Rob it's terrific to hear you still have those items after all that time and regular use, great to hear you enjoyed the video and thanks for the terrific information.
All the best.
Oscar
Good morning Oscar nice video great enjoyment cheers Patrick Quinn IRL
Good afternoon Patrick great to hear you enjoyed that.

I had a bogie bolster early in my model railway years. I still have it and can identify it amongst the others by a yellowing of the plastic. I have three, all from around 1960/65 with the Mk 3 couplers, such great play items with infinite load possibilities. I think your barked logs are cherry wood. Did they come with plastic bogies and pin point axles later? Cheers, David.
Good afternoon David thanks for looking in and the info. I don't think this particular design of the bogie bolster got pinpoint axles, the model was changed in the early 60 (possibly around 1962?) to a more sophisticated design which went on to get pinpoints. It's great to hear you still your original model.
Take care.
Oscar
Perfect start to Sunday as usual Oscar. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Thanks, Roy. Glad you enjoyed the video to start the day.
All the best.
Oscar
Good running session. Interesting wagons. Nicely filmed. Thank you.
Nice video as usual! I've got an HO Jouef open wagon with a load of varnished twigs from the local car park.
Morning Oscar, that was an interesting look at bogie bolster wagons and the difference in over the years. I can just see some supervisor sending out side a poor wooker with
Instructions to cut 50 bits of Bush 6" long and 1" in diameter. 😂 but they do look great. I remember doing it myself, I liked having smaller pieces and putting three pieces on. So much play value. Me and the grandchildren went to the exe model railway show in Exeter yesterday and came away with some old wagons one of which is Fisons Fertiliser like a double upright tank, looks great, we're pleased, saw some great layouts and had some good conversations, and came away with the usual head full of inspiration. Take care Oscar, Eddy xx
Good morning Eddie thanks for looking in. Sounds like you had an excellent day out at the show and the Fisons wagon sounds excellent, I was recently at our local railway club show in the club rooms. Also a terrific afternoon out..
All the best.
Oscar
Your videos always bring back wonderful memories from 1960s Colchester to me. Buying a goods wagon from Williams and Griffin for seven and sixpence, ie three weeks pocket money... Thanks for that.
Great video this morning Oscar will have to keep a look out for some of those timber wagons as I wouldn’t mind a rake of them myself, great to see them have a load, although I do wonder if they were ever issued with the later D type couplings, keep up the great work Oscar.
Hi, Yes they did have "D" couplers from about 1959 onwards.. Some latter chassis had securing holes for the Rocket Launcher option, that were visible in the floor though?
Good morning David thanks again for taking the time to watch, they make quite an interesting looking train, the bogie wagons did get Mk3 couplings as indicated by Rob in the attached comment. The wagon R.212 with the log load was available through to 61 and the basic R.110 bogie bolster without a load up to 66.
All the best.
Oscar
Great video Oscar with a goods train to open up your program this week .I really like your metro vic ,what an interesting loco it is .Timber always makes a good load as you can always pick up wood as load quit easily
Love the bogie bolster wagons. The metal bogies do make a wonderful sound over the joints and points. I like the log loads that look a bit more like actual trees instead of a piece of dowel. I have a rake of the 4 wheel bolster wagons with stacks of 3 straight cuttings on each from a friend's garden. The actually look like sawn trees, very pleasing to the imagination. 😊
Good morning Pauline thanks for looking in. The wagons you have sound terrific with stacked timber loads on them.
Take care.
Oscar

Oscar
Hi Oscar, wonderful again especially the GWR tank engine is that hornby dublo . The old three rail I mainly used system 6 track and peco nickel silver. Iconic stuff.. 👍🏻😎
Thank you, Michael. Glad you enjoyed that..

This is unrelated to the video topic but I just bought Tri-ang R869S and I was wondering what fluid to use
Because I don't want to damage it and I know you have a lot of knowlege when it comes to triangs so if you could please tell me.
Good morning I've been using Servisol Super 10 switch cleaning lubricant as a smoke fluid for quite awhile. The product has just had its name changed to KONTAKT SUPER 10
Thanks for taking the time to watch.

Hi, thanks for watching. I've been using a product called Servisol Super 10 Switch Cleaning Lubricant which comes in an aerosol and is designed for cleaning switches but has a very light lubricating oil within it. This provides great smoke out of both types of smoke unit used. The product has recently been changed name and is now branded as Kontakt Super 10, I think the company that made it has either gone out of business or being absorbed by another company. It has a number of other uses for model railways and is an excellent product it should be used very sparingly both in smoke units and for cleaning/lubricating. kontakt 601 is another cleaning agent made by the same company but this has no lubricating qualities but is excellent at cleaning electrical items such as motors and switches.
All the best.
Oscar
@@oscarpaisley Thank you for replying and sorry for the double comment (Its a bug or something)
These bogie bolsters just show what rubbish Triang was pushing out when compared with Hornby Dublo. The only Triang items that grabbed my attention were the catenary set up and Minic Road Rail. Other Triang stuff was rubbish in comparison to Dublo too. Take the TPO set. It's a shame that Dublo continued with 3 rail. In terms of accuracy look at the Dublo milk tanker in comparison to the Dublo item. Much prefer Dublo, VB and Trix
