Reply to "Weekend tinplate photos/videos 5/19/17!"

Today a new toy train fresh from the attic, including dust, a gift from a friend two days ago.

It is a little industrial train, O gauge windup, made by the french brand 'La Hotte Saint Nicolas' . The name comes from the manufacturer La Hotte and Saint Nicolas is the name of the small town in the north of France, St Nicolas d'Aliermont where the shop was installed. Dates from 1950-55.

It is made of very light tin, there is no reverse system on the loco, some of them may have one with a command on the track. The box set is marked N°1 so it must be the entry set and the less expensive one. Unfortunately the winding key has been lost but the condition of loco and cars is still nice.

Not a valuable piece but after some TLC it will have a lot of charm.

Last picture is a side by side comparison with a Lionel 153 to geave an idea of size.
