Andre, I'm reading this but in kind of puzzlement.
The only Kusan I remember was from the mid '50s and it was nothing at all like what's described here. It was a scale sized train set with an FA called the "Cannon Ball" and a caboose and about three cars. But, the WHOLE thing was in plastic and nothing more than a push toy. No motors or metal parts of any kind.
It WAS however good looking and as far as I recall, scale size. The FA was bigger than Lionel's famous 027 FAs of the same era. It more closely resembled Lionel's F3s in size. I think the engine was silver and black, but my memory on that could be faulty after all these decades. I believe the cars were larger than Lionel traditional 6464 size and more resembled scale steelside boxcar models. The caboose was the same. It was a nice looking caboose, an EV model with a smoke pipe on the roof.
That train went away at some point, or was given away. Last I saw of it was about '60...I hope it became worth something to collectors or whomever..
