Mea culpa! :-( The first toy train company to introduce a working toy train headlight was Howard, and NOT Electoy, as I previously stated. The Howard Miniature Electric Lamp Company of New York City made both a line of 2" gauge electric trolleys and trains in the first decade of the 20th Century. They were also known in their relatively short years of production for their quality built three-pole electric motors. The reference article by Case Kowal in Toy Trains of Yesteryear is on pages 9-13. Toy Trains magazine originally published the separate historical columns by Case Kowal, that were later compiled into the Toy Trains of Yesteryear collection published by Carstens.
