Hornby Minitrix

Minitrix produced a range of around 20 UK Steam and Diesel N-gauge Locomotives from the early 1970s to the late 1980s.  Many were marketed by Hornby (from 1973), but a few later models were sold solely under the Minitrix brand name.  They were superbly engineered and although lacking the detail of their modern counterparts, they represent a pretty good impression of the real locomotives.  Good quality, pre-owned models still attract good prices at auctions.
