Just wondering where the Trix range of products lay quality-wise
against Wrenn, Hornby, etc.

That's not an easy question to answer as the Trix range was extremely
diverse and varied from totally inaccurate pre-war 3-rail AC powered
toys through a stage of scale irregularity (3.8 mm:1 foot) to some
moderately competent plastic models with generally poor mechanisms.

You need to be much more specific.

Saw some old Trix Twin at a train show recently. They were extremely
crude, with large brush holders sticking out the side. Not a patch on
Hornby Dublo, or even that plastic early Triang.
