Whilst the Tri-ang factory was still under fire from the enemy at the end of WW II,  the Lines Bros had sufficient confidence  in the future to write to their dealers overseas and suggest they might like to place Toys orders with them, for delivery they knew not when! That their confidence was shared by the dealers  is not in doubt, for the Lines Bros received a splendid response!  Within two days of V - day, Tri-ang was once again making toys and the 1947 catalogue was a measure of the really big task achieved in a little under two years.

The catalogue appeared April 10th 1947.
