RMS Aragon, one of three ships made by Triang right towards the end of the range lifespan, about 1963/4 which is why these are so rare. Triang ref is M 720.
The model has is some playwear as in chips showing the metal. There are 16 plastic derricks present. The decks are dusty so need some gentle cleaning. Displayable and one of the rarest Triangs along with its sister ships Amazon and Arlanza. These were the hardest to acquire for my collection and mint in a box were into three figures.

1st Series liner Royal Mail Ship to the Southern Hemisphere. RMS Amazon, one of three ships made by Triang right towards the end of the range lifespan, about 1963/4 which is why these are so rare. M 720 .
Condition is very good, there is just one chip on the port side of the hull. It is so good that we thought it might be repainted but seeing as they were hand painted in the factory we have decided that this is original. The funnel is immaculate and yes this ship sits in the top 5 of clive's fave triang ships.
