| TTRCA |
| The
TTRCA was formed in 1975 to bring together model railway enthusiasts who
are interested in the collection and operation of Trix Twin,
Trix Express, and Trix 00 and HO gauge electric model trains manufactured between 1935 and
1973. The world of Trix collecting also includes Liliput branded items and Trix
Construction sets. The Association currently has over
400 members worldwide, including Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and
the USA. Join Now. |
| TTRCA GAZETTE |
| The TTRCA
Gazette is published four times a year and is issued free to all members. It
features articles on collecting, historical information, and how to repair and maintain
locomotives and accessories. There are articles from members on anything and everything to
do with Trix, news of Trix events, and advertisements covering members' sales, wants and
exchanges. |
| TTRCA SPARE PARTS |
| The TTRCA organises the manufacture and sale
of replica spare parts. It has built up a
comprehensive range of spares for members to restore Trix trains to their former glory and
keep their layouts running smoothly. Advice and guidance is given on technical aspects of
repairing and maintaining locomotives and working accessories. Recent
additions are the Meteor Wiring
sheet and the Whistle repair sheet. |
| TTRCA EVENTS |
|
|
Two special events are planned for 2010 to
celebrate 75 years of
TRIX
trains. In March, the
Trix
Express Friends Berlin
group
will display Trix Express and TTR at a 3-day exhibition in Berlin,
Germany, and offer visitors a full programme of vintage train
attractions. In the Summer, David O’Brien hosts a 2-day event at his
Trix
Museum in
Warwickshire, UK on June 12th and 13th. Both events offer a feast of
TRIX.

TTRCA events
are arranged by members of the association. These highly popular gatherings enable members
to run layouts, discuss collecting and maintaining Trix, obtain spare parts, and visit the
sales tables which have an abundance of Trix items for sale. TTRCA meetings are held
several times a year in the Midlands, West, Sussex, and York.
