I am not sure what year Wilesco started making them but you can still buy them new .. the earlier versions of this toy had boats and were pulley driven off a Live Steam Engine as an accessory
Clicking on that video of course took me down a Wilesco Youtube rabbit hole.
This video is also pretty neat, I'm amazed at how much hand work is still involved.
