The 1:42-scale Cotswold Village Series sold by Tri-ang under the Spot-On name from early 1960 (or perhaps late 1959) seems to to have been the first result of Lines Brothers' takeover of the rubber moulding company Young and Fogg Rubber Co. Ltd. of Wimbledon in 1958.

The Cotswold Village items were quickly followed by a physically smaller series of Tri-ang Railways 00-gauge buildings.

The rubber material and hollow moulding process produced an unusual finish, better suited for rounded stonework than brickwork, and for "rustic" buildings than those with razor-sharp edges and lines, which woudl show the warping and distortions of the hollow moulded rubber, so a set of models based on quaint (and irregular, and slightly saggy) traditional Cotswold buildings with a honey-coloured finish was a pretty smart idea.
