Tri-ang Battle Space 1967

Paul,
wondered if this 1967 gem might be useful on blog? From Boys World Annual, a sort of combined feature/advert for a railway space kit: Tri-ang Battle Space.
Regards,
Andy B
Cheers Andy, talk about product placement! Woodsy!

I remember the "Battle Space" stuff from my endless hours pawing over those model train catalogues as a youngster.
I wonder if Andy (or Wote, I know he is another model train guy) remember the little space rockety looking engine with the long spike at the front...I would love to see a picture of that again. It was my favourite at the time.
I had a lot of Tri-ang/Hornby stuff as a kid (still have it) but never had any of the Battle Space range.

That's it Wote, the "Turbo Car"! That spike always looked pretty vicious to me, a bit Flash Gordonish!
I thought you would know it!
Look forward to seeing more!
