014CAF55-6496-4657-B521-D5A10CF72734 I have a fair amount of pre-war template in my collection, however I know very little about Dorfan trains. I picked up three Dorfan items at an estate sale for virtually no money. They are (2) 5402 passenger cars and a 99 -100 clockwork locomotive.  Obviously, the passenger cars do not go with the clockwork locomotive.

 Maybe one of the Dorfan experts viewing this forum could give me a little background on what I have. Incidentally, the clockwork locomotive works however there is no on off switch. It appears there may be a gravity switch and when you hold it upside down to wind it won’t run but the minute you turn it to the proper position the wheels takeoff like jackrabbits. I’m guessing the operator held the drive wheels by his fingers as he put the locomotive on the track.

Everyone have a great holiday weekend,

Jim
