One of the more unexpected parts of the Trix story is the company's production of a small range of card model kits "PRECISION ENGINEERING - IN CARD", some time between ~1967 and 1973, while the business was using the brandname TrixTrains, with main production at Wrexham, under Thernglade Ltd.

These card kits were quite nicely produced, with embossing to emphasise the printed coach side detailing. At some point, the company seems to have decided to leave the cutting-out to the customer – one example that we have has an instruction sheet that originally carried the text "PRE-CUT * PRE-CREASED", which has then been blocked out with a blank white paper sticker.
