Several years ago I stumbled across an Estate Sale being run by a House Sale Service. It literally had hundreds of trains on the walls and in a room added to the house to be a train room. I found some nice things to add to my collection, including some very nice Ives pieces and some Lionel too. I made one impulse purchase just because it was cute and I recognized the names on it: Hornby and Meccano.
I will be the first to admit that I know very little about either of these companies. I don't think that it is very old. I am hoping that someone can tell me something about its history; just the typical identifying information will do.
Unfortunately it came without its key. I know that it runs. It was fully wound when I bought it and I did run it on my O gauge track at home. I'd like to know how to get a key for it.
Here is a size comparison with American Flyer Equipment.
I am hoping that someone who reads this thread or participates by posting can help me identify this cute set.
