Tri-ang Minic Wind-up Tin Litho Jeep

Good grief, what's wrong with me? Oh wait, don't answer that, forget I said that!

Anywho, a few days ago I was perusing my photo files and found a couple of military vehicles I hadn't yet posted. Some of the photos (like from today's post) date back to 2019, but haven't seen the light of day since they were taken. Then I found more. 

And more. 

And more.

I hadn't prepared any new series so it was getting down to where there might be a few days of no posts until I could take more photos. Looks like I got a reprieve.

Anywho, here's a really nice wind-up tin-litho Jeep made by Tri-ang Minic and if memory serves me right, the mechanism on this does work. It measures: 3.125" (7.93cm) L x 1.375" (3.49cm) W x 1.625" (4.12cm) H. be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

Tri-ang and Marx Jeeps

(I have wind-up keys for these vehicles but didn't photograph this Jeep with any of them.)

TRAIN TIME: Tri-ang Minic Royal Mail Van

Another recent acquisition is this cool Royal Mail van by Tri-ang Minic. It came complete with key and the mechanism works - although the van does drive a bit wonky LOL I also noticed that there were vans like this in plastic so it's my assumption they were later versions. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

 

Tri-ang Minic Ford Saloon

The Triang Minic fleet is growing. Even the box says there's over 70 vehicles in the line and I'm pretty sure I'm just not going to get them all. I have a couple more to feature here on the blog and then I may call it quits for awhile. After all, I just wanted a 'few' vehicles to put on my small Hornby layout.  This terrific looking Ford Saloon measures 3 1/2" (8.89cm) L x 1 3/8" (3.49cm) W x 1 1/2" (3.81cm) H and like other vehicles in the line features a clockwork motor.
