I really like Technofix and have several sets , including the rollercoaster, which was called the Coney Island set in the USA
Coal Mine loader...
Alpine Express....
More common Blue Shunting Train set
I could fill a page just with all of them lol!!! Not to mention the likes of Distler, Marx , Tippco, GEM, Unique Arts etc who produced many different track based set ups that I have found ( hoarded) over the years ...
My hardest one to complete was actually a Technofix .. a pre-war rangierbahn made in 1938 ... locos are not too hard to find , but getting the original track pieces took me years! I finally found two full sets of rails in Spain of all places . ( And naturally after spending 5 years looking for them , within 2 weeks another set of tracks showed up which I also bought lol ) I am guessing once these sets got jumbled up over the years , no-one ever knew what the tracks were for and they got junked in the majority of cases?
Love various car sets too ...
Distler pre-war
Enough Fatman .. enough !!!! LOL
Anyway hope you enjoyed the distraction
Thanks for posting pics of so many different kinds of shunting trains and related items. Awhile back, you helped me to find a set (I didn't even know what to search for), and until now I had no idea how many variations exist on this theme. Maybe I was better off not knowing...
