To extend the TT range companies like Gem, Bec and K's made white metal kits to fit on Triang chassis. Although not very sophisticated by modern standards they did enable more variety to be added to the layouts of the time. In recent years some kits have been reissued containing a little more detail and historical accuracy. This original Bec body of a British Railways class 5 4-6-0 is fitted to the Triang Brittania chassis. It awaits restoration, which will involve paint stripping, repainting, renumbering, rewheeling bogie wheels and some detailing.
