Well hello everyone...I am going to wander a bit to the side of the tinplate trains today, follow Fatman's lead a little bit. This offering is definitely tinplate and its from the wonderful era of the 1950-1960's of superb Japanese tinplate toys. This would be a little large for O gauge but not by much. I found it virtually new in the box so I just had to have it, you know boys - "trucks and trains" !

Here is the cardboard box, really in remarkable shape for its age and not really dried out. The manufacturer is Craigsten of Japan.

Here is a better look at the box top.

Here is the truck, about 12-14 " in length and about 4 " high. The lever with the blue knob is how you dump the bin.

Rear quarter view.

Here he is with the side dump bin tipped for unloading. He has a friction type motor powering the front wheels of the cab

Well I hope you enjoy this truck, l know its not trains but I thought you might like to see it anyway.

Don
