A boxed plastic [[Triang]] "Penguin Playtime" '''Build-a-Town''' set, catalogue number '''P251'''. The set seems to be complete apart from the base board  and instructions, shop window cards, and one of the MINIX cars.

A small white panel reads: "''Another safe play-tested Tri-ang product made in Great Britain by Rovex Industries Ltd.''" 

Penguin Playtime seems to have been Triang/Rovex' attempt to get in on the market for plastic toys for young children that had been pioneered by [[Hilary Page]]'s [[Kiddicraft]] company. Penguin was an older Triang brandname.
