Only a ltittle, british manufacturer, went out of business IIRC and might have got merged/bought with something like Airfix or Hornby but don't quote me.

Tri-ang became Tri-ang Hornby in the mid 60s. Tri-ang had the original 2 rail set up on their railways whilst Hornby used the unrealistic 3 rail system.

I suspect what you have is a Tri-ang Minic Motorway car which was a system developed to go with the Railways

Have a look here     http://www.tri-ang.co.uk/

Jeez you've just taken me back a few years :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Without paying out money I haven't a clue Try finding a antique toy dealer or auction house - any you find on line all want you to pay them before giving out information :evil:
