Well, the pictures that have been posted so far in this thread really do take my breath away. I have never seen locomotives of these types much less be able to collect any. So I will fall back to the mundane and just put out "what I got!" Here is a little Marx "Joy Line" wind up loco from the mid-thirties I expect. This one has a 3 car passenger consist but it also came with a freight consist with such cars (as labeled on the car) as the "Hobo Rest" boxcar and the "Venice" gondola. What a hoot! At least with these you can never lose the key

Well...Keep Winding

A nice loco Don. It may be smaller but is nothing but mundane - especially if it when viewed through the eyes of a 5 year old during the depression - not even the real flying Scotsman would have looked so grand 👍
